Tigresses spend Eid in Mirpur, with eyes on the prize

For athletes, missing special occasions with loved ones is a familiar sacrifice, but Bangladesh's women's cricket team have their eyes on the bigger picture -- bringing glory to the nation. As the country celebrates Eid-ul-Fitr today, the Pakistan-bound Tigresses, along with their coaching staff and team officials, marked the occasion at the National Cricket Academy in Mirpur. Their mission? To secure one of the final two spots in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025.

Led by captain Nigar Sultana Joty, the 15-member squad are gearing up for a do-or-die battle against West Indies, Ireland, Thailand, Scotland, and hosts Pakistan. With defending champions Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand already assured of their places, Bangladesh must roll up their sleeves and fight tooth and nail to punch their ticket to India.
