How should I start my career?

How should I start my career?

I am 14 years old, can I start my career at this stage? I don't currently have any platform to perform my skills with. Can anybody tell me what to do, or give me any support please?

Hi Adarsh,

The best thing for you to do is to contact a local team and see whether you can join in their training sessions. Talk to them and see what they can do for you, what you can bring to their team and get advice on how to go forward with starting your cricket career.

Maybe talking to a local coach and taking some 1-on-1 coaching sessions may also help, as a coach will be able to give you advice on where to start and which skills you need to develop.

Hope that helps and let us know how you get on.

Good luck!
