All 14 Captains to Ride Rickshaw Drive – World Cup 2011 Opening Ceremony
Dhaka: The rickshaw, a common man’s traditional transport in Bangladesh, will occupy the center stage in Thursday’s Cricket World Cup opening ceremony here. The captains of all participating teams will make a grand entry into a packed Bangabandhu Stadium riding these humble vehicles.
“The rickshaw is our traditional transport. It is a part of Bangladesh’s heritage. So, we want to present it before the guests. All 14 skippers will enter the stadium in rickshaws,” tournament director for Bangladesh Ali Ahsan Babu said.
Babu said the rickshaws will be brightly decorated and colourful.“Our rickshaws are known for their multi-colours. We will also present before the guests aesthetically designed rickshaws. There will be bright illumination so that the skippers are all visible from even the galleries,” said Babu.
It will be really funny to watch them all getting out of the rickshaws .
