England, NZ PMs praise teams’ World Cup performances

The Hindu  

The prime ministers of England and New Zealand lauded their cricket teams’ performance in the World Cup, which helped bring the sport into limelight in nations obsessed with football and rugby.

Football remains the most popular sport in England, while rugby has a loyal following in New Zealand but cricketers in both the countries have caught the public imagination following the pulsating World Cup summit clash.
