DHAKA, Bangladesh – Sanjida Islam went into bat for a special cricket match in Bangladesh.
The 24-year-old international cricketer wore her colorful wedding attire as she played a few shots and posted the images on social media ahead of her recent marriage to first-class cricketer Mim Mosaddek.
It has been a big hit among fans in Bangladesh, where cricket is a hugely popular sport. It caught the attention of the International Cricket Council, too.
The ICC posted a little tribute on Twitter this week to congratulate the couple, captioning the images: “ Dress, jewelry, cricket bat. Wedding photoshoots for cricketers be like …”
Islam, a middle-order batter for the Bangladesh women’s team, has played 16 one-day internationals and 54 Twenty20 internationals in her eight-year career.
