There was a sense of deja vu this week as a Saudi Arabia club went to the top tier of English football and signed one of the world’s best players. Al-Ittihad have recruited Ashleigh Plumptre from Leicester City which means that one of the stars of the women’s game has made the switch from the home of the Foxes in England’s East Midlands to join the Tigers in the port of Jeddah. With the 25-year-old on the radar of several big European clubs, the signing has whetted appetites for the second season of the Saudi Women’s Premier League which kicks off next month. Plumptre is a former England youth international who switched allegiance to Nigeria and was one of the stars of the World Cup that ended last month with the Africans losing to England after a penalty shootout in the knockout stages. “(I am) grateful to have signed for Al-Ittihad,” Plumptre reportedly said. “I am excited to start this journey alongside some incredible human beings.

Bangladesh's fate, on the other hand, has already been sealed, and they are no longer in the race to qualify for the final. The match, hence, offers the Indian team the perfect opportunity to test its bench strength.
