Bangladesh Cricket Board officials said on Friday that the national women’s team will start their preparation camp for their tour of Sri Lanka after Eid-ul-Fitr,
Bangladesh Cricket Board women’s wing chairman Nadel Chowdhury said that although the series is yet to be finalized they will start their preparation.
Before the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup qualifiers in Sri Lanka in June-July this year, the tri-nation series was to be held but considering the global situation due to the spread of Covid-19 like wildfire, the series is not happening at the moment. “At this point of the time nothing can be called finalized because everything is changing due to the corona pandemic but if things improve we are hoping to tour Sri Lanka in June,” said Nadel.
“Initially we planned to play a tri-nation involving Pakistan and Sri Lanka but as Pakistan didn’t respond we are planning to play against Sri Lanka. We will start our preparation camp after Eid keeping Sri Lanka tour in mind,” he added.
A number of series of the women’s cricket has already been postponed due to the surge of the Covid-19, a deadly virus that left the whole world stranded. The BCB postponed the Women’s Under-19 World Cup, which they are set to host this year. If all goes well, maybe in 2023 it will be held.
At the same time, the 2022 Women’s World Cup qualifiers to be held in Sri Lanka in June-July is likely to be postponed. The ICC is planning to hold it in December after six months.
