Bangladeshi Hospitality

On Independence Day we were invited to visit a collegue's home village with 3 other foreign friends; Axel, Malin and Helen. Waking early we started off on a complicated journey of public buses and rickshaws.
which brought us to this beautiful, serene village.
It appears though that things become a little different when word gets out that foreigners are in town. A cricket match, village versus CRP commenced.... although some of the CRP crew hadn't held a cricket bat before.... so a few extra village members were brought onto our team to provide support.
The match drew a crowd... at least the foreign members of the team waiting to bat did.
Some members of the batting team got a little confused about which sport they were involved in.
But all earnt their celebratory lunch and photo shoot. Even if this member was eyed a little cautiously by the youngest member of the crowd.
