On the day the Tokyo Olympics opened with a subdued but nevertheless impressive ceremony, one of England's most popular sporting heroes - iconic cricketer Monty Panesar, who has put down the ball and picked up the pen to follow his journalistic ambitions - writes exclusively for Nub News about why he believes it is right that the Olympics is going ahead.
Monty is currently studying an MA in International Sports Journalism at St Mary's University in Twickenham, where he has also been working with the team at Twickenham Nub News and other South and west London titles.
