The Bangladesh women's cricket team has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. Returning to international cricket for the first time since winning the T20 World Cup, Australia will host Bangladesh for these matches, marking Bangladesh's first-ever ODI appearance in the country. All three matches of the series will be held in Brisbane. Following the first ODI on October 9, the second and third matches will take place at the same venue on October 11 and October 14 respectively.
Compared to the ODI squad from the recent tour of Zimbabwe, Jubaeria Ferdous, Sumaiya Akter, Fahima Khatun, and Fariha Trisna have been dropped. Replacing them, Sanjida Akter Meghla, Dilara Akter, Disha Biswas, Murshida Khatun, and Habiba Islam Pinky have earned recalls to the team.
Led by captain Nigar Sultana Joty, Bangladesh played their most recent ODI series against Zimbabwe. In that series, held last July, Bangladesh suffered a 2-1 defeat.
Bangladesh squad for the Australia tour: Nigar Sultana Joty (Captain), Nahida Akter (Vice-Captain), Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter, Rabeya Khan, Ritu Moni, Sobhana Mostary, Sharmin Sultana, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sanjida Akter Meghla, Sultana Khatun, Dilara Akter, Farzana Hoque, Disha Biswas, Murshida Khatun, and Habiba Islam Pinky.
