The journey from village life to international cricket is not rare in Bangladesh. Growing up in these rural landscapes, young dreamers often catch the cricketing fever on local green fields like these.
Local players enjoy whatever resources they can gather without access to much equipment. They organize matches against neighboring areas and sometimes even host small tournaments, building their love for the game step by step.
Every evening, the lush green field in Cox’s Bazar’s Mohammad Shahghona village comes alive as locals gather to play cricket. The picturesque field gives the game a unique charm, amplifying the passion of the players who flock here.
