The Ambassador’s XI gathered for our annual cricket match in memory of Roger Short, former British Ambassador to Sofia, who was tragically killed in the 2003 terrorist attack on the British Consulate in Istanbul.
A keen cricketer, Roger’s legacy lives on through this spirited game — played in the finest traditions, with sportsmanship, camaraderie, and English tea between innings.
Like Roger’s legacy, the match honoured the ties that bring communities together. Congratulations to the expats’ team who won with 15 runs over the Ambassador’s team.
