Bangladesh Women suffered a shock before the ICC qualifier for the T20 Women’s 2019, when all-rounder Rumana Ahmed was eliminated injured.
Nazmul Abedeen, manager of the women’s wing of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, confirmed on Friday, August 9, that Rumana was forced to kneel due to a knee injury.
The 28-year-old Rumana is the second best of the Bangladeshi all-time top scorers of Twenty20 International (663) and the best of the wicket-takers (52). The leg-spinning all-rounder was one of two from her country to participate in the 2017-2018 Rookie program for the Big Bash League for Women. She was also honored in the ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year 2018.
