EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Victor Crawshaw, we are transported back to the 7th of June, 1982. The image showcases Fiji's cricket team arriving at Heathrow Airport in London for the highly anticipated ICC Trophy tournament. What sets this moment apart is not only their skillful sporting prowess but also their choice of attire - the traditional national dress known as the sulu. As they step off the plane, each member of the Fijian team proudly dons their vibrant and intricately patterned sulus. This unexpected sight brings a touch of cultural charm and uniqueness to an otherwise ordinary scene at Heathrow. It serves as a reminder that even in the realm of sports, traditions hold immense value and can be celebrated with pride. The juxtaposition between modern-day cricket equipment and these traditional garments adds an element of humor to this photograph. It highlights how sport has become a bridge that connects different cultures from around the world while allowing room for individuality and self-expression. Crawshaw's snapshot freezes this extraordinary moment in time, immortalizing Fiji's cricket team as ambassadors not just for their country but also for embracing their heritage amidst international competition. This print truly captures both travel and sport enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into an era where unconventional choices were celebrated on a global stage.
