Cricket has become one of the most popular sports in the entire world. ICC is trying its level best to promote the sport globally as now teams from Nigeria, Thailand, and Japan have also made their presence felt at major ICC events.
The fans have even come to know about the European cricket teams now since the T10 Leagues are actively being played in that part of the world. While we are not making fun of any culture, some names of players are complexly formed that it gets difficult for a layman to pronounce them. Even the men who have English as their first language find it hard to pronounces the following names.
7.Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Lonwabo Tsotsobe was once considered as one of the best fast bowlers in the world. With his left-arm pace, the South African player dominated the opposition batsmen. Unfortunately, his career ended due to his involvement in a fixing scandal.
Many fans could only understand the true pronunciation of his name only after the local commentators spelled it.
6.Mpumelelo Mbangwa
A majority of the cricket fans would recognize former Zimbabwean cricketer Mpumelelo Mbangwa because of his commentary skills. He has regularly worked as a commentator in the IPL.
His colleagues find it tough to pronounce his full name but since the M is silent, they refer to him as ‘Pommie’ or ‘Pom’.
