The correct order of the sentences is f, e, a, d, b and c . Here, a is not the first sentence because, ‘the 24-year-old cricketer’ and ‘the sport’ is mentioned and we have no idea whom/what they are referring to. f is apt as the introductory sentence. So, it comes first. The second sentence is e , as it says that even these harsh circumstances did not diminish his passion. The rest of the sentences talk about his childhood and family. In that, a comes first and is the third sentence of the passage. We can understand that c follows b because c talks about early school days and c talks about the time he grew up a little. In b , there is a word ‘however’. So, we can understand that something opposite is mentioned in the sentence before that. d is apt as the sentence before b .
