Bangladesh women’s team captain Nigar Sultana<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Bangladesh has announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming 2025 ICC Women\u2019s ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, with Nigar Sultana Joty named as captain for the team\u2019s second appearance in the tournament. Joty, who led Bangladesh during their debut World Cup in 2022, will once again lead the team.<\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper-batter Rubya Haider, who has played six T20Is for Bangladesh, earns her first ODI selection for the global tournament. The squad includes notable additions in Nishita Akter Nishi and Sumaiya Akter, both of whom represented Bangladesh at the U19 Women\u2019s T20 World Cup earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Sumaiya, who captained the team during the Malaysia tournament, made her ODI debut against Australia in March 2024. Nishita, the youngest member of the squad, has played in two ODIs since her debut against Pakistan in 2023.<\/p>\n

Nishita is still young, but she bowls with great maturity. She is consistent, calm under pressure, and her ability to contain left-handers gave her an edge. We believe this experience will serve her well and add depth to our spin attack, said Sazzad Ahmed Mansur, chief selector of the BCB Women\u2019s Wing.<\/p>\n

Sumaiya has been knocking on the door for some time. She brings the ability to occupy the crease and accelerate when needed. With her skill set and fielding standards, she gives us an all-round option in the top order, she said in a release on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh will start their ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2025 campaign with a match against Pakistan on October 2 in Colombo.<\/p>\n

Before the tournament, Bangladesh will prepare through warm-up matches against South Africa on September 25 and Sri Lanka on September 27.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh squad:<\/strong> Nigar Sultana Joty (C), Nahida Akter, Farzana Haque, Rubya Haider Jhelik, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Fariha Islam Trisna, Shanjida Akther Maghla, Nishita Akter Nishi, Sumaiya Akter.<\/p>\n
