What Liam Plunkett’s Wedding Tells Us About The Precarious Balancing Act Of Sport And Life independent.co.uk
In one sense, it was a wedding just like any other. The invites had been despatched. The RSVPs had been RSVPed. A sumptuous Cotswolds venue had been secured and booked. Most importantly of all, the date had been saved: October 13, 2018, the marriage of Emeleah Erb and Liam Plunkett.
Unlike most weddings, however, this one was at the mercy of Sri Lanka Cricket. In February, they decided to switch around the dates of their one-day series against England, throwing it into the path of the wedding with an unerring accuracy that Plunkett himself would have been proud of. All of a sudden an indelicate decision presented itself. Plans for the wedding were already well advanced. Over 60 guests on the bride’s side had already booked flights from America.
