Kyle Jamieson woke up a multi-millionaire this morning, and it s a reality he wants to embrace.
The Black Caps and Auckland pace bowler, who s enjoyed a meteoric rise in international cricket over the last 12 months few ever have, became the highest paid New Zealand player in Indian Premier League history overnight.
In the league s annual auction, Jamieson was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for an eye-watering $2.86 million – the second highest bid of the night – joining a team where former Black Caps coach Mike Hesson is the Head of Cricket Operations.
With so much concern about COVID-19, there’s now a stronger effort to make sure everyone has equal access to vaccinations, especially in predominantly Black neighborhoods.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Judge Lisa White Hardwick is no stranger to pressure. She first felt pressure as a 7-year-old girl in Kansas City, Missouri, in the days after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. died.
