ODI World Cup: Bangladesh opener Fargana Hoque said her team are determined to make their long-term preparation count in the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup, starting on September 30. Bangladesh will open their World Cup campaign against Pakistan on October 2 in Colombo.

"We've been preparing for a long time. But ultimately, the quality of our preparation will show in the World Cup, which arrives every four years, unlike the (biennial) T20 World Cup, so we're determined to make it count," Fargana was quoted as saying by ICC.

The right-handed batter, who was Bangladesh’s top-scorer in the 2022 edition of ODI World Cup in New Zealand, felt the side’s collective strength lay in working as a unit rather than depending on individuals.
