Last year, 9 cricketers from Bangladesh sent their names in the women’s IPL auction. But no one got a team. This time only two franchises have sent their names in the auction to play in the tournament. BCCI announced the names of the cricketers who will be auctioned on Saturday.
The base price of pacer Marufa Akhtar and leg-spinning all-rounder Rabeya Khan has been fixed at Rs 30 lakh. In this auction to be held in Mumbai on December 9, 104 of the total 165 cricketers are from India. 61 people are from other countries.
Jahanara Alam, Salma Khatun and Swarna Akhter were among the 9 cricketers of Bangladesh who were auctioned in the first edition of the Women’s IPL. No one was interested in joining them.
In 2019, Rabier made his debut for Bangladesh in international cricket. During this period, he played 14 matches and took 16 wickets. He did great in the Indian team’s tour to Bangladesh. Rabeya took 3 wickets in the match to defeat India in the last T20I.
18 Peruno Marufa, who started his career in 2022, took 12 wickets in 12 T20Is. The wing pacer caught everyone’s attention due to his great pace and swing. Apart from bowling, Marufa also has skills with the bat. Aggressive batting can storm.
30 cricketers will be selected out of 165 cricketers by auctioning five franchises. Marufa-Rabeya team is therefore quite difficult to find.
