Why do you love Cricket and why is it so important to you?
- I love team sports in general, but cricket is the ultimate for me, main reason being that anything can happen, it is impossible to predict an outcome, a game can change in 1 ball, and keep changing right through out. It’s a game where you need hard work and determination as an individual, but you can never do it on your own, you need a team. The game has taught me so many life lessons, which is why it is important to me, that and the fact that I love every second that I am privileged enough to be on the field
Personal quotes:
- Impossible is nothing!!!
Advice to aspiring cricketers:
- Keep following your dream, by putting everything in, if you want it bad enough, no sacrifice is too big
