Dubai-born cricketer scores record 1,740 runs in calendar year

Desert Cubs Cricket Academy produces 15-year-old run machine Macneil Hadley Noronha.

Scoring 1,000 runs in a calendar year is the dream of every international cricketer. For a 15 year-old to get almost double that figure during a season is an incredible feat. Above all it requires tons of patience, application and hunger to keep driving ahead relentlessly in pursuit of runs.

Dubai-born Indian schoolboy Macneil Hadley Noronha seems to have these qualities in abundance, carving a niche for himself by accumulating a record 1,740 runs in UAE and India while representing The Millennium School, Dubai, Desert Cubs Cricket Academy (DCCA) and Mangalore district in the Under 16 zonal tournament in Karnataka.---------->More News
