The Mohun Bagan football ground hosted a cricket match after years with the Bengal Heritage Foundation (BHF) team, comprising NRIs mostly from Britain, facing a combined team from the British Deputy High Commission and the British Council. Overs were of five balls each and a batsman had to retire on reaching 30. Put into bat, the British side, captained by deputy high commissioner Nick Low, put up 125 for three in 15 overs. Crowning moment: Subhomoy Mukherjee, captain of the BHF XI, holds aloft the Bengal British Heritage Cup as his teammates, opponents and organisers cheer. For cricket, we sounded out the British Council here which readily agreed,” he added.
