No nook and corner of this delta island is free from cricket fever. May be after 71 what makes our
blood metaphorically spill more, that is cricket. Hardly can the tigers of Bangladesh Cricket Team
imagine how much influence they exercise over the tender minds of the school goers. Cricket is now
not just a name of a sport, it is a word what cocoons hope and hype; it is an umbrella under which
there blooms dream to rock the world with a bat and ball.
To add fuel to the fire of cricket vibe, ESS management has been patronizing the cricket club since
its birth year in 2000. Standing on the threshold of the millennium, the club dared to dream of a
dauntless lyrical journey. The more time flew by, the more Bangladesh cricket team roared across
the boundary, the more ESS cricket team strengthened itself through thick and thin.
