Women’s World Cup 2022: Three key players for Bangladesh

The hugely awaited ICC Women’s World Cup will kickstart in less than two weeks in the land of the Kiwis. And, among other teams, the Bangladesh cricket team will be the dark horses in the competition. Bangladesh have some quality players in their arsenal who can turn out to be pivotal for their side during the tournament. In this article, let us take a look at the three key players for the Bangladesh side in the 2022 Women’s World Cup.

1. Rumana Ahmed

Rumana Ahmed is one of the best all-rounders to have played for the Bangladesh side. Ahmed is the highest run-scorer for the Bangladesh side in ODI cricket and has plundered 893 runs at an average of over 25. She is also the highest wicket-taker for the Tigers with the ball and has scalped 45 wickets in 42 matches. Needless to say, she will be crucial to her team’s fortunes in the tournament.

2. Salma Khatun

Salma Khatun is another all-rounder who can be a match-winner with both bat and ball. Khatun is the third-highest run-getter for the Bangladesh side and has amassed 397 runs in 37 matches. Moreover, the right-arm spinner has also prized out 41 willow wielders at an impressive average of 22.65. Khatun’s all-round ability makes her an asset for the Bangladesh side.

3. Fargana Hoque

Fargana Hoque has been at the international circuit for more than a decade now and the right-handed batter has scored 841 runs in her ODI career and has scored them at a decent average of close to 25. She has also plundered seven fifties in her career. Hoque is experienced and can play a long inning once she gets her eye in, and can frustrate the opposition.
