He further wrote, “I lost my grandmother last month – she was a rock for me and I spent a large part of my childhood in her house; my outlook on life and love for cricket was shaped by her and my late grandfather.” When I was home, there was hardly a day that went by that I didn't see her. It gives me great pleasure that she got to see me play cricket for England.”
