DHAKA, April 20, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty and top order batter Shamin Akhter Supta made room in ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifier Team of the Tournament following an envious performance throughout the tournament.

Maximum four players from Pakistan-- Muneeba Ali, Fatima Sana, Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal-were selected in the team of the tournament with Fatima named as captain.

Pakistan confirmed the World Cup spot as only unbeaten side. Bangladesh are the other team to make room in the World Cup after surviving a West Indies scare.
Three players from the West Indies and two other from Scotland were also named in the line-up selected by a panel consisting of event commentators Andrew Leonard, Marina Iqbal, Kainat Imtiaz and Joel Manning, an ICC press release said today.

Rabeya Khan from Bangladesh also found a place but as 12th player.

Sharmin Akhter is picked at three after a consistent tournament which saw her score half-centuries against Thailand (94 not out), Scotland (57) and the West Indies (67), finishing with 266 runs at 66.50.

Nigar Sultana takes the gloves after playing an integral role in the three victories which ultimately secured Bangladesh's progress to the Women's Cricket World Cup, notching consecutive scores of 101, 51 and 83 not out.
