Family time for Tigers

Sports Reporter
As soon as the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh, at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium ended, the road leading to it was opened for its annual cattle market for Eid -
temporarily shifted during the match - which barely leaves any space for commuters.
As a result spectators had to battle long tailbacks before they could return home. The return of the market in a sense was a statement to the effect that now that the first Test is over, it was time to get down to real business. Let's sell some cows for Eid ’
A similar scenario awaits Bangladesh's national players. With Eid on Wednesday, a number of national players -who are on leave till October 17 - were making a late rush towards home or heading towards their respective cattle markets to snap up the last buys.
Shohag Gazi, the hat-trick hero in the first Test, was on his way to Patuakhali yesterday afternoon and hoped to be able to spend as much time with his parents for Eid.
"I think on special days such as these the best thing to do is to spend time with people you are close to and for me that's my parents. I don't know if they have organised anything special for me |due to his record in the first Test] but all that matters is that I'll be with them on Eid," he remarked.
Things were slightly easier for Cox's Bazar's Mominul Haque, who dazzled everyone by hitting the third highest Test score by a Bangladeshi. While a majority of the players took a flight back to Dhaka on the night of the 13th, Mominul eased his way to the coastal town.
"Honestly speaking, I don't do much on Eid - I just like to spend time with mother at home. That itself feels special enough. The day after Eid I go around sometimes, with a couple of my friends," said Mominul, adding that he received a special welcome upon his return to his hometown from his family and friends, courtesy of his innings.
Naeem Islam too was making headway towards Gaibandha yesterday afternoon. His first aim as he puts it, was to reach and buy a cow 'as soon as possible'. "It was something that none of us could do because of the match," he said.
According to coach Shane Jurgensen, the players have been given a break of three days and have been asked to report by Thursday evening. They begin practice on 18th evening.
"Not much actually. They have just been asked to stay safe and fit so that there are no issues before the second Test in Mirpur. The good thing is that they will be getting a fine break after the first Test and return fresh," said Jurgensen when asked if he had imparted any special instructions to the players.
The second Test begins at Mirpur on October 21, after the competion of which the teams will contest three GDIs andaT20I.
