Bangladesh Women have named four uncapped players – Rabeya Khatun, Disha Biswas, Dilara Akhter and Marufa Akter – in their 17-member squad for three T20Is and as many ODIs in New Zealand.
Biswas is a seam-bowling allrounder, Rabeya is a legspin allrounder, Dilara is a wicketkeeper-batter, and Marufa Akter is a seamer.
Rabeya, Biswas and Dilara were also part of the Under-19 side that recently beat Malaysia at home. Disha took eight wickets against them, while Rabeya picked up six wickets. Dilara made 157 runs, including two fifties, in four innings.
The T20Is will be played on December 2, 4 and 7, and the ODIs on December 11, 14 and 17. The ODI series will be Bangladesh’s first assignment in the current cycle of the ICC Women’s Championship.
