While cricket enthusiasts are busy watching the Cricket World Cup 2023, a priest from Wayanad is on a different cricket mission.
Father Tom John, Order of Friar Minor, a philatelist at Chundale here, is showing his passion for the sport by collecting stamps of countries celebrating the World Cup.
He has collected nearly 1,200 cricket-related stamps issued by various countries, including the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka, India, and South Africa. Each stamp from the priest’s collection will help viewers learn about the history of the more than four-decade-old cricket World Cup.
