Dhaka: The cricketers also had a lot of holiday spirit on Friday's holiday. The second ODI match of the series was a day later. The team was stressed after losing the first one to Bangladesh. In such a situation, the Ireland women's cricket team had a great experience today. The Irish girls experienced riding a rickshaw for the first time in their lives.
The cricketers of the Ireland team and the coaching staff also experienced riding a rickshaw, a popular vehicle in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made this arrangement for the visiting team.
Several rickshaws were brought to Mirpur Stadium on Friday afternoon. And a little later, the players of the Irish women's cricket team got on the rickshaws. They did not hesitate to get on. Then everyone had a lot of fun together.
Many of the cricketers also took pictures with the rickshaw pullers. Many others drove rickshaws. They realized that playing cricket is not as easy as driving a rickshaw.
These rickshaws took the cricketers out of the stadium and onto the streets of Mirpur. Irish girls roamed the empty streets on Friday, a holiday.
They will enter the field tomorrow, Saturday, November 30, in the morning of the second ODI with this joy. The match starts at 10 am at the Mirpur ground. Bangladesh won the first ODI of the series by a big margin of 154 runs, and Nigar Sultana Jyoti's team is leading.
