Vatican's "underdog" cricket team was given an official blessing by the Pope yesterday during a private audience as it prepares to travel to Britain.
Argentina-born Pope Francis, who is a passionate football fan but knows little about cricket, signed a bat that the team will take with them during their five-match tour of England, which begins on Friday, The Telegraph reported.
