The Indian cricket team’s current tour of Ireland has evoked memories for two 46-year-old former Maharashtra cricketers, Niranjan Godbole and Indrajeet Kamtekar. They were playing club cricket in Ireland when Rahul Dravid’s Indian team toured the country in 2007. The tour of Ireland was undertaken ahead of the inaugural Pataudi Trophy Test series and the seven-match ODI series in England.
Godbole and Kamtekar were playing for Lurgan CC and Dunmurry CC respectively in Ireland when the Indian team arrived in Belfast for the Future Cup, a three-match ODI series against South Africa. The Indians endured bitterly cold conditions, as a result, several players were down with viral fever.
