Thousands of cricket lovers thronged at Chittagong's MA Aziz Stadium yesterday after a four-year hiatus as the organisers of the much awaited 'Habib Group Port city Cricket League (PCL)' shook off the cobwebs in style.
After the last ODI against visiting Zimbabwe on January 26, 2005, the MA Aziz Stadium was allocated for football, starving the cricket fans of action since the Chittagong Divisional Stadium is located far from the town proper.
With the game scheduled to start at 2.30pm, the viewers started gathering at the match venue an hour and a half before that.
