Rumana Ahmed named in Bangladesh T20 World Cup squad

Rumana last featured in the two-match ODI series in Pakistan in November 2019. She also captained the side and played a vital role in guiding her side to a series-levelling victory with impressive returns of 3/35 and scored 31 runs in the second match.

She was later left out from the squad that participated at the 13th South Asian Games. The all-rounder was then out with a knee injury for a brief period but has now recovered to be a part of the 20-over tournament. She will act as a deputy to regular captain Salma Khatun, who will lead the side.

They are placed in Group A along with India, Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka, and will begin their campaign on 24 February against India.

Squad: Salma Khatun (c), Rumana Ahmed (vc), Jahanara Alam, Shamima Sultana, Murshida Khatun, Ayesha Rahman, Nigar Sultana, Sanjida Islam, Khadija-Tul-Kubra, Panna Ghosh, Fargana Haque, Nahida Akhter, Fahima Khatun, Ritu Moni and Sobhana Mostary
