Not just this, his batting style is bizarre. You have seen tailenders bat, haven’t you? I’m sure you haven’t seen anyone bat like Florin. He’s all over the place, but, he doesn’t care. He’s there to enjoy the game.

Florin is a bodyguard during day time and runs a cricket club at night. His tireless efforts brought Romanian Cluj Cricket Club into the European Cricket League. Now, he plans on building a cricket ground in his hometown in Romania for the love of cricket.
