Wicketkeeper-batter Rubya Haider, with six T20I appearances for Bangladesh, receives her first ODI selection for the global tournament. The squad features notable additions in Nishita Akter Nishi and Sumaiya Akter, both of whom represented Bangladesh at the U19 Women's T20 World Cup earlier this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sumaiya, who captained the team during the Malaysia tournament, made her ODI debut against Australia in March 2024. Nishita, the youngest squad member, has featured in two ODIs since making her debut against Pakistan in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cNishita is still young, but she bowls with great maturity. 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,\" said Sazzad Ahmed Mansur, chief selector of the BCB Women's Wing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSumaiya 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,\u201d she was quoted as saying in a release on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
