Jahanara Alam

Jahanara Alam is a Bangladeshi cricketer who has represented the national women's team since her debut in 2011. Known for her skills as a fast bowler, Jahanara has played a pivotal role in promoting women's cricket in Bangladesh. She has been in the news recently due to allegations of sexual harassment within the national team, which she brought to light during an interview. This has prompted the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to form an investigation committee, with support from the Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh (COCAB). Jahanara's situation highlights ongoing issues regarding women's safety and treatment in sports, as her claims also involved other prominent figures in the cricket community.
