The 2005 Affiliates Division 3 tournament was a real family affair for Malta who had three members from the same family playing, plus a fourth who acted as scorer.

Radhakrishnan, Rahul, Swamy and Prasad Dhandapani all played their part as Malta finished sixth in the nine team event in Belgium.

While brothers playing in the same team is a common occurrence, a father and son playing is a very rare event in any sport, and this instance is believed to be the first time it happened during an ICC sanctioned international tournament.

A great achievement for the family who were mainstays of the Malta cricket scene during their time in European events.
