Monali Patel - Canada could use more cricket
|
20-year-old cricketeer wishes the sport was more popular in North America
 Monali Patel has put on the black and red uniform so many times she hardly notices the metal bars in front of her face anymore.
It's a curious but necessary outfit for the opening batsman and part-time bowler for Canada?s national women's cricket team.
"If you wear it for the first time, you're like, 'Oh my gosh, it's so lumpy,'" she says, comparing it to goaltender equipment.
"There's a special way of running in it. After you get used to it, it becomes part of you."
