I've just been reading the story of Shamar Joseph and it's incredible

Shamar just debuted for the West Indies against Australia, picking up five wickets and getting Steve Smith out with his first ball.

He hails from a small village in Guyana, to reach Baracara, one has to take a boat trip of around 225 km up the Canje River. It would take almost two days for a person to reach the remote rural area in the Caribbean. Baracara did not have proper telephone or internet network until 2018.

Baracara's population is 350, but Joseph has five brothers and three sisters. He would play tape-ball cricket and sometimes use lemons and guava to play impromptu matches. He only played an official cricket match five years ago!
