Finalists England and Australia contributed a total of six players to the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 women\u2019s Team of the Tournament, which was announced today in Dhaka, with England\u2019s Charlotte Edwards named as captain for the second consecutive time.<\/p>\n
Chosen by a select group of experts,* the team was selected for its suitability for Bangladesh conditions and on the basis of performances in the tournament only. Statistics were used but were not the sole basis for selections.<\/p>\n
In all, two players from champion Australia were selected, while runner-up England had four representatives in the side. The team also features two players from West Indies, and one player each from Bangladesh, India and New Zealand.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the side, chairman of the independent jury and member of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, David Boon, said: \u201cThis year\u2019s tournament again demonstrated the incredible depth of talent across women\u2019s cricket. Selecting one team of 11 players was a tough task as we saw standout performances from many players.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe selection criteria are the performances of players in the conditions here in Bangladesh during the ICC World Twenty20 2014, so some of the world\u2019s best players had to be left out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe side reflects the effectiveness of bowlers throughout the tournament, with four specialist bowlers, including Bangladesh spinner Salma Khatun, as well as four all-rounders and three specialist batters who have performed consistently throughout the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
