Sultana To Lead Bangladesh On WI Tour; Jahanara Takes A Mental Health Break
"She had given us a letter stating that she was not mentally ready to play and took a break from cricket for two months," BCB women's wing in-charge Habibul Bashar told Cricbuzz. "She even said that if necessary, she should not be kept in the contract. We need to respect that because if someone feels that she is not mentally ready and wants to take a break for some days, we need to accept that. There is no specific time frame for which she is out. Whenever she feels well, she will let us know," he added.
Jahanara, with 52 ODIs and 83 T20Is to her name, returned to the Bangladesh squad in July 2024 after a year-long absence. Although named in the T20 World Cup squad, she did not feature in any matches. She last played during Bangladesh's home series against Ireland, appearing only in the T20Is while being benched for the ODIs. Lata Mondal and Fariha Islam have been recalled to the ODI squad, while Jahanara and Ritu Moni missed out. In the T20I setup, Marufa Akter, Sultana Khatun, Lata Mondal, and Farzana Hoque have made a comeback, whereas Ritu Moni, Jahanara Alam, and Jannatul Ferdous have been excluded.
