Why Bangladesh women's team could lose once-in-a-generation boost to the sport in their country after T20 World Cup was moved to UAE.
Nigar Sultana Joty will win her 100th T20 cap for Bangladesh in the opening game of the T20 World CupThere will be a tinge of regret for Bangladesh’s players when the Women's T20 World Cup kicks off on Thursday.
The International Cricket Council was left with little choice but to shift the World Cup from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates in late August. Earlier this year, Bangladesh suffered nine straight T20 losses, including series clean sweeps by Australia and India. "I was very shocked, disappointed and sad," said Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty when reflecting on the decision to move the tournament.
Bangladesh’s non-partisan interim government has proposed reforms for the BCB, but it remains to be seen if they will include greater female representation within cricket administration."It’s going the right way, we get the same facilities as the men right now. I hope one day we get the same amount of financial support from the BCB," she adds.As Bangladesh begins a phase of rebuilding its bruised political institutions, normality is slowly returning to the streets.
