Manish who is an ICC Level 1 & CB Level 1 Qualified Coach shared with Zoomcricket.in “As a professional cricketer, i have played in major tournaments and i have adequate experience at the Domestic Level. Being a Ranji Trophy Player myself, i have played vs as well as alongside many International and IPL Level Cricketers and the experience which i have gained is something which i wish to pass to my young budding cricketers at my academy. The wisdom and the lessons which i learned as a professional cricketer when there were limited resources for us, i want to ensure, the young cricketers don’t go through those similar challenges. I aim to work with young cricketers at grassroot level because that’s where quality coaching is required if Mumbai and India as a whole wants quality talented players”
