ICC salutes Joginder Sharma for fighting against COVID-19

NEW DELHI: The International

Cricket

Council (ICC) has hailed India's cricketer-turned cop Joginder Sharma for doing his bit in the fight against the

COVID-19

pandemic.


Joginder, who bowled the match-winning final over in the

2007 World T20

final against Pakistan, is a DSP in

Haryana Police

and is currently involved in dealing with the global health crisis which has killed more than 30,000.

"In his post-cricket career as a policeman, India's Joginder Sharma is among those doing their bit amid a global health crisis," the ICC tweeted on Saturday along with Joginder's photos as a cricketer and cop.


The 36-year-old played four ODIs and as many T20s between 2004 and 2007.

He joined the police service after retirement from the game.
