Botha brothers re-unite after shocking revelations
In a heart-warming story, two brothers are re-united after their parents had kept the others existence a secret for years. Andre Botha who plays for the Ireland National cricket team and Johan Botha, who plays for the South African team were both shocked
and overjoyed when they discovered the news.
The brothers who have a seven year age difference had not met apart from the on the playing field yet when they did they both noticed startling similarities.Andre, the elder brother, noticed how Johan had similar features to him when Andre was about that
age. Even Ireland captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PW-Borren-c2225 joked about how they could be long lost brothers.
It turns out, however, that there was more than just a little truth to it. The International Cricket Council was conducting their routine dope tests when by chance the results of both brothers came out together. Fate had its part to play as the chief drug
specialist noticed a very similar DNA make up. Further tests were conducted and the earlier prognosis was confirmed: Andre and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/J-Botha-c1610 were in fact brothers.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AC-Botha-c910 was quoted sharing his view with reporters in a press conference, “It was a bit of shock really, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. I always knew there was a possibility the moment I saw him.”
Both brothers apparently called their parents up and it turns out that they confessed everything to them. Though the more intricate details were not made public due to the matter being very personal and sensitive, it was confirmed that they did share the
same biological parents.
With a little bit of investigative research, however, it was revealed that their grandparents were the major party involved in their separation, as they were living in both http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at the time. Johan Botha was quoted saying how happy he
was at the news that he now had an older brother and that he looked forward to finally meeting him and making up for lost time.
Johan said with a tear in his eye, “It’s brilliant really. To find out you have a brother who plays professional cricket like you do.”
A re-union is planned in the holiday resort of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Goa-c786 with both brothers and their parents planning to spend the weekend there and it is rumoured that they will be watching the World Cup final together. Cricket is known and loved throughout the world for many
things and now bringing families together, in the most literal sense, can now be added to that list.
The International Cricket Council, while speaking on the whole saga said, “It’s the first of April. So you might not want to hold us to our word.”
