Butler hails players after Bangladesh seal historic Women's Asian Cup spot

Bangladesh rounded out their group games with a 7-0 win over Turkmenistan on Saturday.
Ranked 198th in the world and 25th in Asia, the Bengal Tigresses headed to Myanmar without all-time top-scorer Sabina Khatun, who led a walk out in protest at English coach Peter Butler in February.
Bangladesh defied the odds, however, by winning all three games in Yangon to top their group and secure one of only 12 spots in Australia next year, their first appearance at the continental tournament.
