Bangladesh national women's team captain Rumana Ahmed and off-spinner Khadija Tul Kubra will take part in the Women' Big Bash T20 league in Australia as the pair were selected by separate franchises to ply their trade in the tournament beginning on December 9.
Rumana, who will feature for Brisbane Heat, is scheduled to leave for Australia on January 10 while Kubra, expected to depart on January 16, will join up with Melbourne Stars.
“I am really happy to become the first female Bangladeshi cricketer to play the league. There will be a lot of good players and I will try to learn from the tournament,” Rumana told the Daily Star yesterday.
Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan is the only Bangladesh player to feature in the Big Bash.
