Bangladesh unveil Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 squad

“Nishita is still young, but she bowls with great maturity," said Sazzad Ahmed Mansur, chief selector of the BCB Women's Wing.

"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.

“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.”

Bangladesh will kickstart their ICC Women's World Cup 2025 campaign against Pakistan on October 2 in Colombo. The two sides had sealed their qualification for the eight-team tournament after finishing top-two at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier earlier this year.

The Nigar Sultana Joty-led side will also face-off against South Africa and Sri Lanka in their Cricket World Cup warm-up fixtures on September 25 and 27 respectively.
