Leggie29 – Hi all, delighted to be part of this exciting group of cricket lovers. My name is Kamna, I’m a cricketer on the Canadian National Women’s team representing Canada at the ICC Americas tournament that starts on April 23 in the Cayman Islands.
I’m originally from India so cricket’s always been a huge interest. My introduction to cricket was quite informal; I didn’t really have a coach and like most kids, I grew up playing with the boys in my locality on the streets of Mumbai. I guess I just picked up the game by copying them and watching a lot of the matches on TV. Many years later when I moved to Canada, I wanted to take up a sport and was really happy to learn that there was some cricket action for women here. I signed up with a club last summer and played in all of the league games. Ever since, it’s been a really exciting journey. Then there was an invite from the coach of the National team to try out. It’s been about 5 months of training with the national squad and here I am, one day away from making my international debut. I’m a leg spin bowler and my favorite player is Shane Warne. Although, I’ve loved the game as a spectator, now that I play it I love all its intricacies and nuances. I’m completely hooked onto it like a drug and now I just can’t stop playing it. It has made me a better person in every way.
Over the course of this tournament and beyond, I’ll be sharing our experience on this tour. This game with all its rigors and challenges will test us in more ways than we can ever imagine and I’d really appreciate your input and advice along the way. I’d like to sign off with this video introducing you to the Canadian Women’s team. Thank you so much for taking the time and for supporting women’s cricket.
