The Bangladesh cricket team spent some quality moments with the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy, which was put on display at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today (August 8).

Cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim had the distinct honor of carrying the prestigious trophy to the stadium. Later, other players, who were gathered at the stadium, seized the opportunity to capture the memories by posing for photographs alongside the iconic trophy.

During the time, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Shamim Patwari, Afif Hossain, among others, were present.

The former players who were present at the time were also ecstatic after watching the trophy on display.

"I got very excited after watching the trophy here and it feels like the World Cup starts today," BCB selector Habibul Bashar Sumon, who captained the side in 2007 World Cup said today.

"We first played the World Cup in 1999 and made a giant stride then. We had a very good campaign in 2015 and also we were in better position in 2019. This time we are taking a good preparation. We have a settled team and we are hoping that we will be able to do something very good in the ensuing event."

After the national crickets spending time with the trophy, it was brought into the media center at the SBNCS with media personnel and the Bangladesh women's cricketers taking pictures with it.
