In the face of severe criticism, Bangladesh Cricket Board or BCB has provided an air-conditioned microbus for the national women cricketers, a day after they were seen riding a local bus.

On Tuesday, the media reported that they rode a local bus to a practice session at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

On Wednesday, the cricketers again went to the cricket ground by local bus, but were provided with a microbus when they were returning from a practice session.

The women cricket team for the first time won the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2018 in Malaysia on June 10 by defeating six-time champions India in Kuala Lumpur.

Bangladesh's first international victory in cricket brought much excitement among the BCB officials.

But allegations of discrimination against women cricketers surfaced at the time, bdnews24 reported.
