India/Sri Lanka Cricket Tour 2017

India/Sri Lanka Tour 2017

by Hunter Kindley

Well where to start? I have been given the task of somehow trying to write a summary of the 2017 India/Sri Lanka cricket tour and to be honest I genuinely don’t know where to start. Therefore, to save confusion lets start at the beginning of our journey. Dunedin airport, 5:30am. A full day of travel was a new experience for the majority of the 16 students, 6 parents and 2 staff members and potentially as a result, 6 boys fell to sickness after our first night in Bangalore.
