Salma Khatun was at the beginning of the rise of women's cricket in Bangladesh. Seeing this all-rounder has inspired many Bangladeshi girls to take up cricket.

The team management is not seeing any chance for Salma to return to the national team. BCB has already offered him to retire from the field. And if he agrees to that, the board will give him a chance to play a match. Rumana Ahmed has also been given the same message as Salma.
Sajjad Ahmed, a selector in the women's team, said, 'Salma's matter... also Rumana... we have spoken to them personally. I have spoken on behalf of the board that if they want to play the last game, they will be given that opportunity. I can send them off officially by playing a match.
'Also said that if they leave the game, they can be employed elsewhere, coaching or umpiring, or wherever. This is how they think. Maybe this year they will play (in domestic cricket). Then I think….'- he added.
