Nuzhat Tasnia added to Bangladesh squad for Women's World Cup

Wicketkeeper batter Nuzhat Tasnia was included as a travelling reserve in the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand in March-April, reports BSS.

The 25-year old is the second travelling reserve player in the side along with Shanjida Akther Maghla, a BCB press release said.

Nigar Sultana Joty will lead the side in which pacer Jahanara Alam was also included. Jahanara earlier was dropped from the side that played in the ICC Commonwealth Games Qualifier in Malaysia.

The team management said the disciplinary issue led to her axing from the team. Jahanara though protested it, but BCB sorted out the matter and solved the problem.
