Cool boys make their dream a reality How a team of refugees stumped cricketers and spectators and won the inaugural Infinity T20 Cricket Tournament in Brisbane Cool Boys skipper Dinesh Chandrasekar walked back to his bowling marker. He was playing in the prestigious Infinity Cricket Tournament, Australia’s premier ‘open’ T20 cricket event. He paused, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. His life must have played out before him. As a child he had escaped war-torn Sri Lanka to India. But far from being a refuge, he found himself constantly on the run. More recently, in search of a brighter future, he survived a treacherous ordeal aboard a boat destined for Australia. The boat almost never made it. But it did. And he was one of the few fortunate individuals to be granted refugee status. Amidst the pain, it was cricket that brought him unbridled joy. Here, as captain of his side, he was moments away from making a dream come true. theindiansun.au/top-story/cool-boys-make-dream-reality/
