Objective

My objective in the sport of cricket is to become a top-line national player. I am currently looking for an opportunity that will enhance my cricket abilities, and to that end I am exploring overseas cricket options. My cricket role model is Sachin Tendulkar for his accomplishments in batting, his awesome fielding skills, and his spin bowling. He is also my role model because he knows the mental part of the game and is a great all-round player.

 

Origin

I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on May 20, 1983.

 

History

In 1995 I attended an Under 19 Training Camp in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Dating back to 1996 I played in numerous Under 25 Premier Provincial Matches in Edmonton, Alberta. From 1997 to 2004 I represented Alberta in the Western Canadian Championship and the Under 18 National Canadian Tournament (Canada Cup) from 1997 to 2000. I captained the Alberta Team in the Canada Cup from 1998 to 2000 and was selected for the Canada Under 19 Team in 2001 against Bermuda, but the tour was subsequently cancelled. In 2002 I was again selected for the Canada Under 19 Team that toured Jamaica, and had the privilege to play against teams from Guyana, Jamaica, USA, Barbados, and the Windward Islands.

 

Skills

>          Right-handed orthodox opening batsman

>          Right arm off break spinner

>          Cover point fielding specialist

>          Very quick in between the wickets and outfield


 

Education & Background

I was brought up playing cricket from the young age of four, and started playing First Division cricket at the age of twelve. My father (a well established cricketer and coach for Edmonton), has been my personal coach for most of my life. Another coach that has helped me is Mr. Christie Marathalingam, who is the National Under 19 coach and selector for Canada. I have also had the opportunity to be coached by Mr. Larry Gombs of the West Indies who recently attended the Under 19 Canadian Tour to Jamaica.

 

 

Present Time

I recently finished the 2004 cricket season. I captained the Under 25 Edmonton Team in a three-day test match against the City of Calgary and led the team to a victory. I also set a provincial record for the season by scoring 1,491 runs. I currently play in the Premier Division for Gujarat Cricket Club, and in the First Division for Strathcona Cricket Club, this year's First Division champions. I had a great season with playing 30 games, making 5-100's, and achieving 12-50's with an average of 85.91. I have been nominated by Mr. Chris James, the senior Canadian selector, for future Canadian tryouts.
