Ex-British leader TheresaMay opts for cricket over PM BorisJohnson's maiden speech
LONDON - Former British prime minister Theresa May skipped seeing her successor fire up Conservative MPs on Thursday and instead spent her first day out of office enjoying one of her favourite pastimes: cricket.
Mr Johnson replaced Mrs May as premier on Wednesday, bringing to an end her crisis-plagued three-year tenure that will likely be best remembered for her failure to deliver Brexit. But on Thursday, she could be seen enjoying the comforts of the hospitality section at the spiritual home of cricket in north-west London, as England began to recover from a first-innings collapse against Ireland in the first-ever Test match between the two sides.
A self-professed cricket lover, she attended England's dramatic World Cup final victory earlier this month and hosted the victorious men's team at a Downing Street reception.
