Or, as the Babylon Bee put it with a reference to Hebrews 11:38, the earth was deemed not worthy of him:

Rest in peace and endless Joy, Ravi.
I didn’t always agree with you, but you were always a gentleman who commanded my respect: a true cricketer.

Apropos: my own mother, now 84, was cursed by a gypsy on her wedding day, for refusing to buy clothes-pegs. She had one of the happiest marriages imaginable.
