Dear Community Members in the D.C., MD and VA areas:
Cricket fever has gripped the whole nation of Bangladesh. Our beloved
Bengal tigers have mesmerized millions of cricket fans in Bangladesh
and all around the world. Their 4’s and 6’s have not only crossed the
boundary lines but traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to
reach Washington, D.C. to fill our hearts with joy. We congratulate
the Bengal Tigers to reach the finals of the Asia Cup Cricket 2012 by
defeating the finalists of the last world cup cricket – India and
Srilanka.
To keep the cricket fever alive in the D.C. area, EKTARA proudly
announces the second annual “EKTARA Cup Cricket 2012”. We would like
to congratulate the first champion of EKTARA Cup Cricket “Dhaka
University Graduates Group”. Join us to find out who will be the next
champion of “EKTARA Cup Cricket 2012”

year we are expecting the number of teams to grow. Keeping that in
mind, this year’s tournament will be held for two days. The league
