Bangladesh has announced its squad for the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, featuring the return of top-order batter Taj Nehar, who replaces Sarmin Sultana. Chief selector Sajjad Ahmed praised Nehar's versatility, stating she can bat across multiple positions in the lineup. Captain Nigar Sultana will lead the team for the third consecutive World Cup, supported by experienced players like Fahima Khatun, who is set to participate in her seventh T20 World Cup, having been part of every tournament since 2014. The squad includes 11 players from the previous World Cup in 2024. However, the team has struggled recently, suffering a 3-0 defeat against Sri Lanka after a strong performance in the World Cup qualifiers. Bangladesh will depart for Edinburgh on May 25 for a tri-series against Scotland and Netherlands, before starting their World Cup campaign on June 14 against the Netherlands at Edgbaston.
