Bangladesh Tour: A journalist’s diary

I land in Bangladesh a day before the first ODI, but for various reasons that aren’t particularly interesting, I’m in Sylhet, which means I face an early flight to Dhaka the following morning. The thought of potentially heading to the stadium straight from the airport with my luggage in tow doesn’t fill me with optimism.

I spend the day in Sylhet catching up with my cousin before heading out in the evening to purchase equipment for the video content I’ll be recording. I manage to find a shop that stocks my desired Bluetooth mics and tripod, but in Bangladesh, small shops don’t have fixed prices, so my cousin and I start haggling. We eventually get what I think is a good deal, though my cousin thinks I’ve been fleeced.
