Stage is set in Rome for Commonwealth Cricket Cup
In todays world, full of hate, conflict and discrimination, sometimes we find it hard to seek out and reach peace, or at least something that allows us to experience it for a brief period. Sport, however, is an instrument that allows us to do just that. Cricket in particular teaches and encourages values that todays society sometimes forgets about altogether.
