Complete Squad: Nigar Sultana (capt & wk), Marufa Akter, Dilara Akter, Fahima Khatun, Salma Khatun, Jahanara Alam, Shamima Sultana, Rumana Ahmed, Lata Mondol, Shorna Akter, Nahida Akter, Murshida Khatun, Ritu Moni, Disha Biswas, Sobhana Mostary
Nigar Sultana is given the confidence of the selectors to continue leading the team at the mega event and she is one of the key batters in the lineup who needs to score on a consistent basis to give her team a chance for big scores.
Nigar Sultana, Dilara Akter & Shamima Sultana are three wicket-keeper options available which is a bit out of the box as the majority of the teams have kept two wicket-keepers while Bangladesh for three which provides them options. Spin artillery in the team squad of Bangladesh women’s t20 world cup 2023 has many good options with a mixture of experience and youth which includes Fahima Khatun, Salma Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Shorna Akter & Nahida Akter.
The pace bowling department of Bangladesh women’s T20 World Cup squad 2023 lacks experience at the big level which will be a key concern for them in the powerplay. The medium-fast bowing options include Ritu Moni, Jahanara Alam, Marufa Akter, Disha Biswas & Lata Mondal and none of them have taken 50 International wickets so far which is something they need to look at by providing more runs for the inexperienced bowlers to defend at the mega event.
