Cricket on the Sub continent.... Reflections of an Aussie in the crowd at Shere – Bangla Stadium , Dhaka, Bangladesh

I recently had the chance of going to watch the 3rd ODI of a 5 match series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. This is arguably ‘the forgotten series’ with most of the cricketing world focusing on The Ashes, but that still did not stop the Bangladeshis coming out in vast numbers to support their beloved Bangladesh Tigers.

Another country of South Asia Bhutan though team is not very good still the game is no 1. there are 3000 Students who play cricket out of arnd 20000 students.

This shows the popularity and Maldives winning the 3rd title in Cricket (ACC Challenge and 2 ACC Emerging) and just one in Football, and a Cricket Stadium coming soon, Cricket will be No 1

After settling here and when Both Iran and Myanmar open up, I am sure Cricket will take over these countries also. Then this is just the gateway to Middle East and South East Asia. When these countries open is a complete diff question
