Girls Cricket Success: Our Path to MCA Selection
We don't just coach; we build match-ready cricketers. From net practice to state-level selection trials, see the athletes from our academy who are breaking barriers in Mumbai cricket.
We celebrate every success. Congratulations to Tvisha Shetty on her selection for the Mumbai U15 Girls off-season camp. Her hard work and dedication are an inspiration to all the younger players at our academy.
Seeing our players' names on the official MCA selection list is what we work for. This document represents countless hours of hard work in the nets and on the field. It is the first major step towards a professional career in women's cricket.
This is Tvisha Shetty, a 13-year-old batter who has already competed in MCA summer camp matches and various tournaments. The scorecard shows her solid contribution, a testament to her ability to perform in competitive match situations from a young age.

A proud moment for the academy as Gagana Mulkala makes her debut for the Mumbai Cricket Association in the BCCI U15 All India Women's Tournament. This is a significant milestone that reflects her journey from a leg spinner to a complete all-rounder.

It is always special when the hard work of our young athletes gets noticed. Here is a feature on our 9-year-old player, Ovi Dalvi, by Zoomcricket, highlighting her potential and the work we do with our youngest cricketers.
A fantastic player of the match performance from our 17-year-old, Yashvi Gori. She scored a fighting 50 not out after the team was struggling, showing immense character and temperament to build a crucial partnership. This is the mindset of a true match-winner.

About Our Champions: The Pathway to Success
Getting selected for the Mumbai Cricket Association isn't just about a textbook forward defense. It is about holding your nerve when the team is 113 for 9 and having the patience to play through 99 balls to anchor the side. That is the kind of match-winning temperament we build here, ensuring our girls are physically and mentally ready for the brutal pressure of selection trials.
Success in women's cricket requires more than talent. It requires an environment where you are pushed to fix your technical flaws, whether that is a faulty bowling run-up or a balance issue in your batting stance. At Cricket Explained, our pathway to the MCA is built on three pillars: rigorous intensity, technical correction, and game awareness.
We don't believe in easy practice. Our girls train under match-like conditions, facing high-speed throwers and indoor net pressure to acclimatize to the demands of state-level cricket. This is why our players, such as Gagana Mulkala and Tvisha Shetty, have successfully navigated the jump to MCA selection camps. We focus on 'thinking players' who understand the scoreboard, know when to defend, and know when to attack.
Preparing for the Selection Stage
- Technical Precision: We use video analysis to break down your game frame-by-frame, correcting mistakes before they become habits.
- Match Readiness: We simulate the pressure of a final. Whether it is chasing a total in a league match or holding an end down during a collapse, our drills reflect real game scenarios.
- Mental Toughness: Cricket is a mental game. We train our athletes to handle the anxiety of trials and the fatigue of long tournament days, ensuring they stay composed even when the stakes are high.
We are here for the serious athlete. If you are ready to put in the work—the kind of work where you forget to check the time—we will provide the roadmap to help you get there.
Cricket Explained
Cricket is a gift, and I make sure every girl who walks into my nets respects that. I don't believe in soft training; I push my students to be self-sufficient thinkers who can read the game and handle pressure on their own, whether they are playing an U15 match or a state selection trial.
