Bangladesh women’s cricket team has returned home after a successful tour of Europe.
Bangladesh Cricket Board CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury and other board officials received the Tigresses after they landed at the Dhaka airport on Monday.
Speaking to media at the airport, Chowdhury said, “We are proud of the women team’s achievement. They have got the expected result in the World T20I Qualifiers.”
“I hope they will be consistent and hold onto the success. We are yet to achieve a good result in the World Cup so now our target is set on the success in big tournaments. I believe the Women will play well in the West Indies,” he said.
Thanking all, Tigresses skipper Salma Khatun said, “Team unity brought these successes. Our team now hold a good position. Though, we have won three trophies straight, but we do not want to stop here. We want to move Bangladesh (team) forward and make a habit of regular winning against the big teams,” she said.
