Sports Desk

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to build a house for female footballer Rituparna Chakma. The decision was taken at a meeting of the BCB board of directors. BCB director Iftekhar Rahman later informed reporters about this information.

The house design and other necessary documents have been submitted to the BCB by Rituparna Chakma’s family. BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul has approved it.
The BCB decided to stand by Rituparna due to her financial hardship. Her house had been in a dilapidated condition for a long time. After losing her father and brother, Rituparna is the sole earner in the family. In addition to running the household, she also has to bear the medical expenses of her cancer-stricken mother.

Rituparna’s contribution on the football field is also great. She showed extraordinary skills in the Women’s Asia Cup qualifiers. There, she scored goals against Bahrain and Myanmar and also scored two goals against Turkmenistan. Her goal in the SAFF Championship last year helped the team win the title and she also won the best footballer award. BCB has stood by such talented players in the past.
