The Bangladeshi delegation consisted of four officials and four competitors: two men and two women, who took part in three different sports—athletics, boxing and swimming. (At the previous Commonwealth Youth Games, Bangladesh had a delegation of ten athletes.) None of the athletes won any medals. Papia Rani Sarkar finished sixth in the semifinal round of the 100 metres for women; bantamweight boxer Riyad Hossen received a bye into the quarterfinal, but then lost to Obedy Mutapa of Zambia. In the swimming heats, Sonia Akter finished 22nd in the 50 m backstroke and 19th in the 50 m butterfly, and Anik Islam finished 12th in the 50 m butterfly and 14th in the 100 m butterfly.
