Great Cricketers We Have Known: Ehsan Mani

Not us, but once again our Sri Lanka correspondent, ‘Dad’, and not strictly speaking a cricketer either, but the President of the ICC.

During the presentation ceremony of the Under-19 World Cup final, Dad went into the clubhouse for a look round. When Ehsan Mani returned from the pitch, having presented the Under-19 World Cup, he mistakenly thought that Dad was part of the reception committee and went to shake his hand. Unfortunately for us, Dad absent-mindedly forgot to request free tickets for every single Test match from now until the end of time.

Still, it’s another strong link for the King Cricket team and further confirmation of our acceptance as part of the mainstream media.
