Bangladesh women's cricket captain Nigar Sultana Joty announces packed overseas tour
Bangladesh women's cricket captain Nigar Sultana Joty said the side will tour Australia, New Zealand and England in the coming months, viewing the assignments as vital for skill development. The team will play three ODIs in Brisbane from 9‑14 October 2026, followed later in the year by a series in New Zealand that includes three T20Is and three ODIs, and a six‑match white‑ball series in England slated for mid‑2027.
Before the overseas trips, Bangladesh will compete in the women's cricket event at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, starting 17 September 2026, opening against China and targeting a place in the final, with a possible semi‑final against India. Joty highlighted the importance of the ICC Future Tour Programme points and stressed preparation despite rain‑affected home conditions, noting that recent experience in England boosted the squad’s confidence.
