When you are sick and do not sleep overnight, it is not fun. Goodbye and auspicious night to the owls. I am just going to show off that it is a fever of cricket and I will try to get some necessary sleep and all the fake news that will be broadcast online.

I’m sure it’s all the hectic travel, excessive heat n Air Conditioning Exposure & Constantly Changing Hotel Rooms that has brought on the fever. It’s never fun when you are sick & having a sleepless night. Thank God Mom is coming to see me & the game Tomorrow Hope I Can Make…
