Be that, as it may, I recall this magnificent College hall, where, under Rev.Fr. Noel Cruz and Pappa De Niese, I sang in the College Choir, also did various ‘solo’ concerts, entertaining hundreds of people who loved the Venue, for it’s comfort, compared to many other halls around.

Rashid had pushed Australian Josh Hazlewood out of top spot after his strong start to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, but the continued brilliance of Hasaranga means he has risen to the summit thanks to his World Cup heroics.
