Women’s cricket is not too much favorite like boys cricket. But we also like our women’s cricketers. We fell proud if they achieve any success. Problem is they do not get enough chance for play. They are not strong enough like other countries cricketers. Not too many girls are involving in crickets. We are hopeful we must be overcome all those problem and reach the success by the powerful captaincy of Jahanara Alam.

some of these comments here are terrible. South east boys and men have a lot of respect to learn. I have my own definition of what a perfect woman is for me but in no way am i ever disrespectful to them in general or make comments that are demoralizing or takeaway from what makes them so great. Don't divert the convo
we need more women like her.
Dinraat what kinda stupid questions are these?? Grow up.

These are the questions we should ask ourselves.
This is not funny dude, if you write whatever random thoughts come to your mind without filtering or thinking it makes you look like a creep. You know I like you as a poster but sometimes you post really distasteful stuff.
