A cricket team from the Valley is on a tour to Calcutta. They went to Eden Gardens on Thursday and played a friendly match at the Calcutta Cricket and Football Club on Saturday. They did not get to play a match on the hallowed green, but the visit itself was overwhelming, the players said. The Kashmir team lost the match but won hearts. “I work all week and play cricket on Sundays,” he said.
