A look at Prosper Useni’s picture either while playing cricket or posing for a photograph, it’s easy to categorise him among the experienced players donning the colours of the Yellow Greens.
“It’s training and consistency,” Useni told PUNCH Sports Extra.
“I am a bowler and I also bat well. As a cricketer, generally if you are a good batter and bowler, you must add fielding to it for support because it’s as important.” “My role models include Peter Aho, my teammate and a very good bowler, who holds the Guinness World Record for the best bowling figure in the world. Our captain Isaac Okpe, who has played a huge role in my development. I also have our ex-captain Ademola Onikoyi and outside Nigeria, someone I want to be like is Australian Mitchell Starc and he is a left-hand bowler.”
“It’s difficult to combine education and cricket especially when things clash. I’ve tried my best to balance it as well because I am trying to stay on top in both. Imagine I’m even granting this interview after sitting for an examination. I am trying my best and the federation understands,” he said.
