Bangladesh have picked 15-year-old fast bowler Habiba Islam to bolster their bowling attack for the five-match T20I series against India at home later this month. They have also included Rubya Haider in place of Farzana Akter as they build towards the T20 World Cup at home in September and October this year. Rubya, similar to the uncapped Farzana, is a wicketkeeper-hitter who played the three-T20I series against Sri Lanka last year. The uncapped Habiba has replaced Sumaiya Akter, the offspin-bowling allrounder. "We haven't changed the crew that much. Since we are playing on donning wickets in Sylhet, we have taken an additional speed bowler," Bangladesh ladies' main selector Sajjad Ahmed said. "We likewise have Rubya Haider, our initial player and wicketkeeper, getting back from injury. This is an uplifting news. "Rubya has returned after a long injury cutback. She got harmed in Hong Kong. She is a programmed decision for us now. We had two quick bowlers in the T20I series against Australia. We had Marufa [Akter] and Fariha [Trisna]. Habiba will be our back-up pace bowler." Bangladesh lost both the ODI and the T20I series 3-0 against Australia at home as of late. They were bowled out for under 100 runs in each of the three ODIs and keeping in mind that they were a touch more serious during the T20Is, the bay among them and Australia was plainly noticeable. "This is a vital series for us," Sajjad said. "Our hitters are attempting to get runs at home. On the off chance that they can improve and our bowlers are normally great, we can return as a unit. Australia was an uncommon team. We were unable to adapt dependent upon them. We need to disregard those outcomes, and expect to go up against India. "I think our Reality Cup arrangements start from this series against India. Our group arrangement, arranging and system is intended for the World Cup. We are not playing some other organizations from now. We can't in any case say that this is our last crew for the World Cup. We have the Asia Cup coming up. We are likewise intending to play one more home series before the World Cup. We have matches coming up, which could prompt a few changes." Each of the five T20Is among Bangladesh and India will be played in Sylhet, at the principal arena and the adjoining foundation ground. The matches will be played on April 28 and 30, and May 2, 6 and 9.
