Morea eyes World Cup appearance

NATIONAL Under-19 men’s cricket team bowler Junior Morea will realise his dream of playing for Papua New Guinea when the Garamuts compete in this month’s World Cup in the West Indies.
The 18-year-old has found sports as an avenue to keep him active and disciplined.
Having played cricket for four years now, Morea said he dreamt of playing in the World Cup and when an opportunity came to try out, he gave it his all.
In fact, he said: “I was a part of a new rugby team, but I had to come out.”
Being young and determined to pursue his dreams came from a lot of encouragement from people around him.
“My family, friends and even the senior players gave me great advice,” Morea said.
“They told me that discipline was crucial.”
He has come a long way, especially after completing Grade 8 and seeking options for a brighter future for himself.
With all the invaluable advice and inspiration around him, Morea was motivated.
“My role model in cricket is Norman Vanua because of his bowling,” he said.
