In an exciting development for women’s cricket, Team India will travel to Bangladesh for the white ball series in July. According to cricbuzz, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)’s women’s wing chairman, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, has officially confirmed that Bangladesh will host the Indian women’s cricket team for a limited-overs leg. This development marks a significant milestone as the Shere Bangla National Stadium prepares to host a women’s international game for the first time in 11 years.
“Yes, we will be playing a white-ball series against India women’s national cricket team in July and all the matches will be played in Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium,” said Nadel.
Notably, the last time Bangladesh women’s team played at the iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium was in 2012 when they faced off against South Africa. Since then, SBNS has witnessed numerous men’s international matches.
