It was rare for a Women’s cricketer to have her photo shoot on a cricket pitch. The 24-year-old Sanjida Islam, who married another First-Class cricketer Mim Mosaddeak had her photo shoot on a cricket pitch.
“It just happened all of a sudden and not pre-planned. I had gone to the Rangpur Stadium for a photo shoot and there I saw some boys playing cricket.
Being a cricketer, I could not resist the temptation of playing a few balls and my photographer immediately clicked the photos.”
Sanjida’s photos which became viral on social media playing a cover drive and a pull shot gave the International Cricket Council (ICC) the opportunity to Tweet the pictures: “Dress, jewellery, cricketer bat.”
Sanjida has so far played in 16 One Day Internationals and 54 Twenty20 Internationals.
