# Bangladesh women's national under-19 cricket team

The Bangladesh women's under-19 cricket team represents Bangladesh in international under-19 women's cricket. The team is administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
The team played their first official matches at the 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, the first ever international women's under-19 cricket competition, in which they reached the Super Six stage.

## History

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, Bangladesh qualified automatically for the tournament.
Bangladesh announced their 15-player squad for the tournament in December 2022. The side reached the Super Six stage, in which they finished third in their group.
