A group of people from Bangladesh went on two different flights to London. They are going to play three games of a sport called cricket against Ireland. It’s part of a big competition called the ICC Men’s World Cup Super League.
Yesterday, most of the leaders of the team went to London with Yasir Ali and Najmul Hossain Shanto. Today, the rest of the team, including Tamim Iqbal, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shoriful Islam, and Taijul Islam, left in the morning.
Miraz said that they had been getting ready for their important trip and now it’s time to go. Everyone is getting excited and ready to leave!
The team is doing really well and they had great practice in a place called Sylhet. They are going to a new place called Ireland and they have plenty of time to get ready. Everyone on the team is doing a good job and playing well, which is really good news.
One cricket player named Liton Das had to leave his team early because of a family problem, but he will come back to play with his country’s team soon. Another player named Mustafizur Rahman is also playing for a different team right now, but he will leave that team on May 2 to join his country’s team in England.
Shakib Al Hasan will come to play cricket with the Bangladesh team in England. He is in America now but will arrive before their practice game on May 5. They have three matches on May 9, 12, and 14 in a place called Chelmsford.
Before going on the trip, the boss of the Bangladesh team held a short practice session for three days in a place called Sylhet.
