Sachin Baby

As a child, I used to play football. Even during my school days, I didn’t play cricket. I had also attended a few football trials. But my love for my mother and my mother’s love for cricket is how I made the 22 yards my ultimate goal”

I hail from a place where there is no cricket ground, no coaching centers, no facilities. It was in the newspapers where I discovered about the upcoming selection trials. I was accompanied to the venue by my mother and was lucky enough to be selected. As far as I remember, we had to travel a distance of about 60 kilometers to arrive at the venue for the trials.”
