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.


The gap between the first and second ODIs is two days. Today they ride in a rickshaw before practice.

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.
