Sahnawaz Hussain and Nishant Rana,16 year old students from the Scindia School in central India, are visiting Oswestry School for two months on a student exchange scheme, a project in which the schools have cooperated for several years.

For both boys this is their first visit to the UK. “I like it here very much,” said Sahnawaz. “The weather is excellent and the countryside is so lush and green.” Nishant, who has represented his state in table tennis and chess, said: “We are making very many new friends. Everybody is very open and honest.”

The boys are taking an active part in school life, and they have been recruited into the Oswestry School cricket team. Sahnawaz, a fast bowler, succeeded in taking a wicket in his first game despite not being used to English pitches and playing conditions.
