Bangladesh Women’s Squad for T20i Series Against Australia Announced

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the squad for the three-match T20i series against Australia. There are three changes from the ODI series squad. Fargana Hoque Pinky, Disha Biswas and  Nishita Akter Nishi have been left out while Fariha Islam Trisna, Shorifa Khatun and Dilara Akter Dola have been called up to bolster the T20 side.

Selector Sajjad Ahmed Shipon said: “Trishna got the nod ahead of Disha as she is a left-arm pacer and adds variety to the bowling. Dola has been picked over Pinky. She is a wicketkeeper batter who we believe, has the talent to succeed in the T20 format. Shorifa Khatun is an all rounder who bowls off-spin and bats in the late order. She can also develop into a T20 specialist.”

The T20 internationals will be held on 31 March, 02 and 04 April at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. All are day games with a 12pm start.
