I want to become a cricketer, am aged 27 but am fit enough to easily play for another 10 years.... I have been playing cricket from my childhood and been part of couple teams (One day and two day Teams) in the Hyderabad Cricket Association (Known as HCA Leagues) apart from leading my college & High School Cricket teams. I am an allrounder(Right Hand Bat & Right Arm Medium Pacer). I feel i miss something in life when not playing. I want a club who can sponsor me so that i can even help my family with providing them the basic necessities of a day to days life.

sir,im really confused and worried abt how to play cricket on a professional level.im nearly 23 and a right handed medium fast bowler with around pace of 125km/hr....im not a technical batsman but can hit the bowl a long way.Basically i have tried to increase my pace through practise but its just not increasing the way i want it....I have talked to people abt it and most of them told me to go to gym and strengthen my upper body thus resulting an increase in speed....i have never ever done gym in ma whole life and have not a good fitness....can u plz tell me what to do to become one of the fastest bowler in the world..and is my age still good to become one .thanks

Let's be realistic. If you bowl at 125kph it is unlikely you will become the fastest bowler in the world. It is possible to improve your speed if you work with a very good coach like Ian Pont and have a very good cricket-specific strength plan. However with luck, hard work and even more hard work you have a chance. It's not easy or cheap though. Have you got the time, money and motivation to do so?
