Nigar sultana

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana has expressed that the upcoming Women's Cricket World Cup is a huge opportunity for her side. She added that featuring in the tournament is a dream come true for her side. The upcoming mega event is Bangladesh's first appearance in the 50-over World Cups and also their maiden visit to New Zealand.

"This competition is a huge opportunity for us because we can show we have potential and we are improving as a team. If we do well here, more teams will be interested in playing against us, more international cricket will come to the country and the Bangladesh Cricket Board will try to increase domestic matches as well," wrote Nigar in her column for the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday.
