Bangladesh international cricketer Sanjida Islam went into bat for a special match in Bangladesh.

The 24-year-old wore her colourful wedding attire as she played a few shots 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, jewellery, cricket bat. Wedding photoshoots for cricketers be like ...”

Islam, a middle-order batter for Bangladesh, has played 16 one-day internationals and 54 T20s in her eight-year career.
