Seven players from Bangladesh’s Cricket World Cup 2022 squad return to the unit for the 2025 edition, providing ample experience to go with the youthful exuberance of multiple tournament debutants.
Joty concedes that the preparations on course to the tournament have been intense, with Bangladesh confident to put their best foot forward on the big stage.
“We have been practicing very hard for the last few months and hope we can be at our best game in this wonderful moment. I am seeking prayers from Bangladeshi people and fans from around the world.”
Bangladesh will kickstart their Cricket World Cup campaign against Pakistan on Thursday, October 2 in Colombo.
