Joty expects 'the best' from Tigers in World Cup

Bangladesh women's team captain Nigar Sultana Joty expressed her optimism over Bangladesh men's team's chances in the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup, to be held in India from October 5 this year.

Joty expressed her high expectations while talking to reporters after her team today took pictures with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy, as it was on display at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium (SBNS) in Mirpur on the second day of its tour to Bangladesh.

"Expectation from Bangladesh is very high as a player and the populace has big expectations. From that perspective, I feel we have our best side with seniors and younger players carrying form. We also play well in this format. So of course, we expect the best from them," Joty added.

The wicketkeeper-batter was also delighted with the opportunity they were given to take some pictures with the World Cup trophy.

"It feels great to come with the whole team here. I feel that it has motivated them. I haven't even saw the World Cup trophy up close before, so thanks to the BCB and the women's wing for giving us the opportunity."
