U-19 World Cup: An opportunity like never before

It's considered the stepping stone for the stars of the future and 16 teams, including three-time champions India, would be aiming to discover their Virat Kohlis and Steve Smiths when the ICC Under-19 World Cup starts off here tomorrow.

From Kohli to Smith, most modern-day greats have learnt the ropes in the biennial event, which has gained significance with every passing edition.

The boys not only become men here, they also become household names with millions following the live broadcast of the competition.

The event begins tomorrow with Pakistan taking on Afghanistan and hosts New Zealand facing reigning champions West Indies.

India, eager to prove themselves after their disastrous showing in the Asia Cup, open their campaign against Australia at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.

The tournament's stature has risen to such an extent that a great like Rahul Dravid, the current India U-19 coach, would love to have been part of it back in the day.

"We never played this tournament in my day. After 1988 they didn't hold the tournament for 10 years, so I've no exposure of playing and being part of this tournament. I tell a lot of these boys that I think it's a terrific opportunity for them to be a part of this tournament," Dravid had said in the lead up to the event.

Countless number of U-19 players have gone on to represent their countries at the highest level. Each edition unearths oodles of talent and makes them overnight stars, be it Rishabh Pant or Alzaari Joseph from the previous edition in 2016 when three-time champions India lost the final to the West Indies.

This edition too has created high expectations with a selected bunch already proving themselves at the first-class level.

The likes of India captain Prithvi Shaw, teammate Shubham Gill, Australia captain Jason Sangha, Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi, Afghanistan batting sensation Baheer Shah, they all go into the event after making a mark on the domestic circuit back home.

Shaw, Gill, Sangha and Shah already have a first-class hundred to their name while left-arm pacer Afridi hogged the limelight by taking eight for 39 in the Quad-e-Azam Trophy, the best figures by a Pakistani on first-class debut.

The sensational performances of Baheer Shah too has created a buzz. The 17-year-old averages a staggering 121.77 in his seven-match first-class career, beating even the legendary Donald Bradman (95.14).

He has the highest average in the list of players with at least 1000 first-class runs, leaving behind not just Bradman but also Vijay Merchant (71.64) and George Headley (69.86).

The exploits of India captain and opener Shaw too are well-documented. After grabbing headlines with his performance in junior cricket, Shaw has graduated to the higher-level so seamlessly that he always belonged there. Therefore, it was not a surprise that he hit a match-winning hundred on Ranji Trophy debut 12 months ago.

Adding to the tournament flavour will be the sons of Steve Waugh and Makhya Ntini, Austin and Thando who will be turning up for Australia and South African respectively. Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland's son Will is also in the national squad.

With the IPL auction round the corner, there is every possibility that a millionaire could from the U-19 World Cup, just like Pant had a bagged Rs 1.9 crore deal with Delhi Daredevils after his stellar showing in Bangladesh.

The 22-day tournament, featuring 16 teams and being played across seven venues in the cities of Christchurch, Queenstown, Tauranga and Whangarei, will see 20 matches being broadcast live.

Crítica – ‘Rafiki’

Cartel de Rafiki, de Wanuri Kahiu

Título original: Rafiki

Año: 2018

Duración: 83 min.

País: Kenia

Dirección: Wanuri Kahiu

Guion: Jenna Cato Bass, Wanuri Kahiu

Fotografía: Christopher Wessels

Reparto: Patricia Amira, Muthoni Gathecha, Jimmy Gathu, Nice Githinji, Charlie Karumi, Patricia Kihoro, Neville Misati, Samantha Mugatsia, Sheila Munyiva, Dennis Musyoka, Nini Wacera

Productora: Coproducción Kenia-Sudáfrica; Ape&Bjorn As / Big World Cinema / MPM Film / Razor Film / Rinkel Film / Schortcut Films

Género: Drama

En un mundo lleno de odio e intolerancia es maravilloso que existan personas que intenten cambiar esta visión que impera, desgraciadamente, en nuestra sociedad. De esta premisa nació Rafiki, cuarto largometraje de la realizadora keniata Wanuri Kahiu y nominada a los Oscar como Mejor película de habla no inglesa.

Con esta coproducción entre Sudáfrica, Kenia, Francia, Países Bajos, Alemania y Noruega, el país de la directora participó por primera vez en la Sección Oficial del Festival de Cannes. La cinta también ha llegado a España, concretamente hasta la SEMINCI, para formar parte de las películas a concurso de la sección Punto de Encuentro.

La Iglesia tiene un peso importante en el pensamiento del pueblo

Homofobia y discriminación

En un principio, el Gobierno de Kenia prohibió el estreno en su país debido a la existencia, todavía, de leyes que penan la homosexualidad, tema del que trata la película.

Cuando se supo que Rafiki había sido nominada a los Oscar como Mejor película extranjera, un alto tribunal de Kenia levantó temporalmente la prohibición y autorizó su proyección en las salas del país del 23 al 29 de septiembre porque, según las normas de la Academia, una película debe mostrarse en el país donde se produjo durante siete días consecutivos para ser elegible.

Rafiki viaja hasta el corazón de Kenia para contar la historia de Kena (Samantha Mugatsia) y Ziki (Sheila Munyiva), dos chicas jóvenes cuyos padres se disputan la presidencia en Nairobi. Esta rivalidad hará que se estrechen los vínculos entre ellas.

Basado en Jambula tree, cuento de la escritora ugandesa Mónica Arac Nyeko, Rafiki muestra sin ningún tipo de tabú una relación lésbica en un país y en un continente donde está considerada delito y donde la Iglesia influye de una forma determinante en el pensar de la sociedad.

Algo que refleja fielmente nuestra sociedad es el grupo de amigos de Kena. Uno de ellos se declara homófobo desde el principio y Kena tiene una papeleta importante ya que tiene que decidir entre su seguridad o el amor.

El miedo al rechazo impide a Kena mostrarse tal y como es

¿El triunfo del amor?

El filme también muestra cómo los estereotipos de las lesbianas se siguen manteniendo. Kena representaría el papel de la mujer masculina que lleva pantalones y camisas, mientras que Ziki es la chica que se maquilla y usa vestidos.

A pesar de todos los impedimentos familiares, sociales y políticos, ambas jóvenes luchan por querer un futuro mejor. Un futuro en el que están juntas fuera de África. Un futuro en el que ellas son las que eligen su propio camino. Los colores y la música de África también ayudan a crear una atmósfera onírica en la que Kena y Ziki tienen muestras continuas de afecto entre ellas. Además, las miradas cómplices completan la carta de una bonita historia de amor.

En definitiva, Rafiki es un canto a la libertad de elegir tu propia condición sexual sin sentirte presionado ni amenazado. Los colores, la banda sonora y el amor hacen de esta relación lésbica un cuento africano precioso. Eso sí, también hay que decir que el guion y desarrollo narrativo es sencillo, típico de películas de adolescentes.

Nota: 8/10

Lo mejor: la bonita forma de contar una relación prohibida entre dos mujeres

Lo peor: guion sencillo

[kenyankalasingha]

President Uhuru Kenyatta hosts the Kenyan U-19 cricket team at State House, Nairobi, where he handed over the national flag to them as they gear up to represent the country in the ICC - International Cricket Council Under 19 Cricket World CUP 2018 (January 6 to February 4) in Christchurch, New Zealand. . Kenya's Under 19 cricket team qualified for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2018 New Zealand after beating Uganda by 7 wickets, sending their neighbours packing to the pavilion in just 9 overs and 60 runs. . The team includes two all-rounder Sikhs - 18 year old Jasraj Singh Kundi and 16 year old Sukhdeep Singh – besides Sachin Bhudia, Maxwell Ager, Thomas Ochieng, Aman Gandhi, Yaksh Patel, Dennis Musyoka, Abishekh Chidambaran, Rahul Seedher, Ankit Hirani, Jayant Mepani, Gerard Mwendwa, Aveet Desai. . Kenyan cricket, though having been played for almost a century now, reached its peak when the country reached the semi-finals in the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and since then tanked to such a level that their once world-renowned international prowess as a rising power in the game is now considered 'dead and buried'. . Since losing the one-day status since, Kenya has continued to rebuild their game through new blood ins school and club-level cricket and the patience is paying off, as these youngsters show new promise to return Kenya to its old glory, and probably work their way up the point their predecessors failed to - to be counted as a test nation in the game. .
