BCB takes a big call by replacing Hashan Tillakaratne with Sarwar Imran as the head coach for Bangladesh’s Women’s team. The decision was taken by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) as they closely missed selection for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025.
Harish Tillakaratne recently vacated the post as the nation's Women's Squad failed to qualify for the upcoming ODI World Cup season under his leadership.
Tactical Decision Made by Bangladesh for Women’s Cricket
Sarwar Imran was a well-planned name for the new head coach position in Bangladesh’s women cricket team.
- National team is gearing up to pep for the qualifiers of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.
- Sarwar Imran is recognised as the head coach with years of expertise and experience in cricket training.
- It is believed that under his guidance, the team will retain its stability on international grounds and become familiar with the tactical aspects.
- Imran had been the head coach for Bangladesh’s men's cricket team in 2000 during their inaugural Test match.
Sarwar Imran is known for his remarkable contribution to Bangladesh cricket by spending his coaching tenure in various game types and formats. He has played a crucial part in the National Cricket Academy, Bangladesh A, and even the U-19 women's squad in Malaysia’s T20 World Cup.
Bangladesh Cricket Board Emphasizes Local Talent as Head Coach
Reports claim that the newly appointed head coach by BCB is well-equipped to plan strategies and make efforts to help Bangladesh get their position back in the World Cup.
- BCB President Faruque also shared an official confirmation of Sarwar’s appointment as the head coach for Bangladesh’s women's national team.

Bangladesh Narrowly Escaped ICC Women's ODI World Cup Qualifiers
It was disheartening for BCB that the team missed qualifying for the ICC women’s ODI 2025 automatically. The team was at 21 points while New Zealand aced the race to seize the ICC Women’s Championship position.
New Zealand was able to make a direct entry into the finals as they recorded nine wins over Bangladesh’s eight wins. Bangladesh was defeated by the West Indies by eight wickets in the decider match.
England, India, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa are already qualified. At the same time, Bangladesh needs to compete with Pakistan, Ireland, Thailand and a few others for the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier.
