EXCLUSIVE: Jahanara Alam concerned about WBBL and WT20 Challenger schedule clash

Jahanara Alam said that clash of schedule between WBBL and Women's T20 Challenger will have a rippling effect on all the players.

Hyderabad: Bangladesh women's team cricketer Jahanara Alam, while speaking to ETV Bharat, said that the WBBL and Women's T20 Challenger scheduled at the same time would have a rippling effect on all the players.

She said, "I think the clash of schedule between WBBL and Women's T20 Challenger has happened due to COVID-19 pandemic. If it was not COVID-19, both of the tournaments would have happened at different times. It would be painful for any player to have both at the same time. The Indian players who are part of the WBBL will give preference to the tournament of their country while the Sri Lankan players who are part of both the tournaments will also suffer an equal loss. "

Jahanara Alam played 37 ODIs and 71 T20Is for Bangladesh.

Apart from this, Jahanara Alam also talked about playing in Women's T20 Challenger, "I am very happy that cricket is coming back. If I get a chance to play Women's T20 Challenger then I will be very happy even though I have no information related to it yet. "

Jahanara Alam made her Bangladesh debut in 2011.

Asked about her body-shaming comments, Alam said, "The matter is not to look slim or to be fat. The matter is to be fit. Are the players fit to play? Are they fit enough to complete their job? And if he is fit for the game then nothing else matters. Whether you are looking slim or not. "
