The former English cricketer Kevin Pietersen has long defended the cause of the conservation of the wildlife. Pietersen has been involved with SORAI (Save Our Rhinos Africa / India) and has posted updates to rescue animals in both regions.
Fans and wildlife advocates often praise the cricketer for the noble cause. Pietersen took Twitter to share the news of Sudan's death, saying it's time to go to work to save all the other rhinos.
WE HAVE FAILED THE SUDAN AND ALL THE OTHER NORTHERN WHITE RHINOS!

Meanwhile, months after the death of Sudan, scientists said that they have grown embryos containing the DNA of his species, in the hope of saving the subspecies of extinction.
With only two white rhinos (NWR) known to be alive today – both infertile females – the team hopes that their revolutionary technique will lead to re-emergence.
Rohit Sharma, who was declared the man of the match and the man of the T20I series, hit 11 limits and five monstrous sixes during his innings
India is going now face England for a series of three ODI games starting July 12th.
