Dhaka, April 8 (bdnews24.com) – The Bangladesh Cricket Board Tuesday announced a 14-member national women's squad for Asia Cup to be held in Sri Lanka this month.

The players have been requested to report to coach Jafrul Ehsan at the Dhanmondi Women's Sports Complex at 5:00pm Wednesday.

The board also kept four players as standby.

Squad: Sathira Zakir Jessy, Shukhtara, Ayesha Akhter, Salma Khatun, Irin Sultana, Chamily Khatun, Rumana Akhter, Panna Ghosh, Shamima Akhter Pinky, Jahanara Alam, Lily Rani, Tithi Rani, Papiya Haque Babu and Mina Khatun

I don't understand why Champa has to be a StandBy after doing so well in the first ever Tour the women played. Because shes a Chakma?
