Sports Desk: Ireland women's cricket team is staying in Dhaka to play ODI and T20 series. Irish girls had a different kind of day in a rickshaw in front of the BCB building in Mirpur today.
Dhaka's rickshaws have been recognized by UNESCO as 'immeasurable cultural heritage'. What happens when foreign cricketers come to Dhaka and ride the traditional vehicle! They rode for the first time in their life and many tried to drive a rickshaw with interest.
Around two in the afternoon, they were taken by rickshaws to gates number two to four of the stadium. Many of the Gabby Lewis-Amy Hunters took selfies to frame the moment.
BCB had such an arrangement before this. The opening ceremony of the 2011 World Cup was held in Bangladesh. Then the captains of all the participating countries were taken in the rickshaw. This time again that different arrangement was seen.
