The tournament, which is being held in the United Arab Emirates, gets underway on Thursday 3 October when host nation Bangladesh face Scotland at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
And Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana led the way as the ten national skippers met in Dubai to mark the start of a tournament that will come to a conclusion in the same city on 20 October.
“We are pretty fortunate that we will do something that is going to help all the fans and the families and friends to get cheered,” Sultana said.
“I’m expecting a lot of spectators, because in Sharjah there are a lot of Bangladeshis there. And playing in this kind of event, I think more people will come watch us and support.”
This year, the ICC took a unique approach to the captains’ photo by inviting each captain to individually showcase their excitement for the tournament set against the striking backdrop of the Dubai Frame, a symbol of the UAE’s landscape.
The image was taken by Dubai-based Tina Patni, a well-known luxury fashion, beauty, and editorial photographer, recognized for her work with celebrities and has earned her international recognition for her unique style and expertise in the industry.
