Giving the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket team a taste of India before their World Cup journey, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma on Tuesday said cricket is really something that brings them together in many ways and the two nations are proud of the cricketers on both sides who are playing top quality cricket.
“I think the women's cricket teams in both our countries - India and Bangladesh - have really made a very rapid transformation in these recent years. You are really competing with a great passion. You have added great capabilities, and I think you're really playing top quality cricket. This is something that both our nations are proud of,” he said.
High Commissioner Verma along with his spouse Manu Verma hosted a reception at his residence - India House - in honour of the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket team which is departing for the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
He hoped that the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket team will inspire every girl-child in the country to follow their footsteps to pursue their dreams and passion and excel in whatever field they choose.
“It is a great honor to meet you all and see a bright smile and optimism on your face. I wish you all a great tournament ahead and all success. And I also wish Bangladesh Women’s Cricket greater glory and newer heights,” said the High Commissioner.
