Cricketers' thought of watching Argentina match would be 'stupid': Domingo
"You cannot watch football till 3 am and play a Test match at 9:30 am. It will be stupid. If they do that, I will be disappointed, very disappointed."
The whole world is going through the World Cup craze. Bangladeshi cricketers are no different. Argentina and Croatia will be battling in the first semi-final tonight and it is possible that a number of cricketers from both Bangladesh and India camps will watch that match even though the Test series begins tomorrow. Bangladesh head coach Russel Domingo thinks it will be a stupid idea to watch a late-night football match just before the Test match in the morning.
"They must go to bed soon, as simple as that," said the South African coach.
