With last Sunday’s announcement confirming a break for 18 rebel players embroiled in a dispute with head coach Peter Butler, their absence from Bangladesh’s women’s squad for the upcoming FIFA friendlies against hosts UAE seemed inevitable.
As expected, Butler yesterday unveiled a 23-member squad, opting for a fresh lineup that excludes several senior players who were instrumental in Bangladesh’s SAFF Championship triumph last year.
Stressing the importance of attitude and commitment, The most important thing for me is that these players approach their work with the right mindset, show respect, and deliver a performance that does justice to representing Bangladesh. Bangladesh will face the UAE on February 26 before playing the same opponents again on March 2. The squad is set to depart for the UAE on February 24.
