Legless Boy Dreams Of Becoming A Cricketer

A CHILD who lost both his legs when he hit an unexploded shell with his cricket bat is working towards his lifetime ambition – to become a professional cricketer. Fayaz Ahmed Parray from Kashmir, India was just four years old when tragedy struck as he was playing cricket with his seven-year-old sister, Simran. The shell exploded, killing Simran instantly and shattering Fayaz's legs. But the six-year-old now wears prosthetic legs and dreams of cricket stardom.
