The game of cricket is the ultimate winner. Played in the right spirit and entertainment plus plus, no one will grudge whoever the champions are. May the best team win.

Many cricketers born in South Africa are currently representing both NZ and England because of the countries rigid policies regarding equal repre sentation of both black and whites. James Phillips and Devon Conway for NZ and Jason Roy and Sam Curran for England . No wonder both countries are in the semi finals of the T20 Cricket world Cup 2022.
