Women return from SL today
The Bangladesh women's cricket team are due to return home today from Sri Lanka after participating in the Women's Asia Cup.
They are expected to arrive at the Zia International Airport at 10:30pm by a Singapore Airlines flight.
During the tournament, the women national cricketers won one match against Pakistan but won many hearts by their fielding and bowling efforts. Their batting, although not firing everyday, impressed their opponents, including Indian captain Mithali Raj.
"Bangladesh, who are playing at this level for the first time, have a very disciplined bowling attack. They have to improve in a lot of areas but they are very good for a side playing at this level for the first time. Salma Khatun, the Bangladesh captain, is a very good batsman and bowler," wrote Mithali in her Cricinfo blog prior to their final against Sri Lanka yesterday.
Salma stood apart and in the return-leg fixture against India, she scored 90 and took two key wickets and also fielded brilliantly.
