A funny, empowering story of cricket and curry, spinners and leggies, NIPS XI is about overcoming cultural barriers, in sport and in life. If white boys can't jump, can Asian boys play cricket? Vietnamese-born Tran is fed up with being called 'nip' and sick of being on the sidelines. Tran and fellow talent-sptter, Izram, decide to comb their suburb for players. After hilarious elimination trials, Nip's Eleven is born!
