TRIBUTE: We miss you ChepCricket

GONE TOO SOON Emily 'ChepCricket' Chepng'etich Ruto

Following the shocking and sad news of this rising star’s death after a short illness, John Lawrence, the last journalist to interview the Kenya Womens Cricket team captain, pays tribute to a sports lady whose life was cut short in her prime. We celebrate Emily’s boundaries in the game of life and accomplished innings that set her apart as a humble sportswoman despite her achievements.

Dear beloved ChepCricket,
I guess this is what they meant when they said life is tough. This is really hard, harder than a cricket ball. Tougher than any bat.
