Nuzhat included in Bangladesh squad for Women’s World Cup

Nuzhat Tasnia was included as a travelling reserve in the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup which will be held in New Zealand in March-April.

The wicketkeeper batter is the second travelling reserve player in the side along with Shanjida Akther Maghla, a BCB press release said.

Nigar Sultana Joty will lead the side in which pacer Jahanara Alam was also included. Jahanara earlier was dropped from the side that played in the ICC Commonwealth Games Qualifier in Malaysia. The team management said the disciplinary issue led to her axing from the team. Jahanara protested it, but BCB sorted out the matter and solved the problem.

Squad: Nigar Sultana Joty (Captain), Salma Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Fargana Hoque Pinky, Jahanara Alam, Shamima Sultana, Fahima Khatun, Mst Ritu Moni, Murshida Khatun, Nahida Akter, Most.
