Played with Passion
The rhythmic pulse of cricket has echoed in my heart every day since 2001, when I rekindled my association with the sport after an eight-year hiatus. In that interim, I embarked on the journey of marriage and settled comfortably in Dubai with my supportive wife. Our blessed life, under the grace of God, has been shaped by the fusion of cricket and her understanding of my unwavering passion for the game.
The inception of G Force Cricket Academy dates back to 2001, originally named cricketlovers.com. Fueled by my deep love for cricket, I found myself constantly immersed in the world of cricket grounds, playing the game, and reporting on matches – hence the fitting name, cricketlovers.com.
Over the course of 22 years, our academy has evolved into a powerhouse of cricket coaching, nurturing promising talents to success. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our talented players, the expertise of our resident coaches, and the invaluable contributions of celebrity coaches. The discipline and committed approach to training by all involved have played a pivotal role in our success.
This book stands as a tribute to our students, who, through their time with us, have not only honed their cricketing skills but also developed into exemplary human beings. It is also a salute to our coaches, whose tireless efforts have been instrumental in shaping the future of our budding cricketers.
Having recently concluded our 40th cricket tour to Mumbai, we felt compelled to encapsulate the essence of our journey in a book. More than just a tour, this experience served as an educational process, offering valuable life lessons. I invite you to delve into the pages of our stories, immerse yourself in our passion for the game, and draw inspiration from our collective journey.
