Anju Jain, the coach of Bangladesh national women cricket team, is excited about Bangladesh emerging women team's most-awaited tour to South Africa.

"It's really good to have tours of emerging team. It'll help us find out our bench strength. We'll play the Asia Cup soon. So, this tour is very important for the players we have in the squad," Anju told the media on Thursday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city.

In the emerging team, 4-5 girls got the chance for the first or second time. According to the coach, this tour will be a good opportunity for the new girls to prove their mettle for the national team.
