CRICKET AND FAMILY PACKAGE

Long gone are the days when touring India was seen as a punishment by some international players. These days families of cricketers are happy to mix sports with tourism when the teams visit India. Like Ish Sodhi, spinner Mitchell Santner too has come with his family. Santner bowled impressively in the Tests. In Mohali, the Santners, father Peter, mother Kelly and sister Olivia were at hand to cheer him. “We haven’t seen so many people before. We’re enjoying the food. It’s an amazing atmosphere for cricket,” Kelly said.
