The team members, all dressed in crisp white cricket uniforms and matching caps, exude a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment. The Shaftesbury Home, also known as the Royal Salem Home for Waifs and Strays, was a charitable institution that provided education, training, and shelter for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The Farm School was a part of this organization and offered agricultural training to its students, teaching them valuable skills for a future in rural life.
