Cricket Selection Trials and Tournament Prep
Cricket isn't just about nets; it's about performing when it matters. We host high-stakes selection trials for Mumbai's top school tournaments to give talent a real platform to get noticed.
This is where players get their big break. We host selection trials for major tournaments like the Girls Kanga Knockout. I personally oversee the trials to spot talent and give every deserving player a platform to showcase their skills.
Watch our academy player Harsh Salunkhe in action during the U-19 Mahindra Shield. This clip shows his excellent knock of 93 runs in just 70 balls, a testament to his training and aggressive batting style.
Another great performance from Harsh Salunkhe, scoring 85 runs in the Mahendra Shield U-19 selection match. This is how our players prove themselves in high pressure situations to get selected for bigger teams.
About On the Pitch: Tournament Action & Trials
Our selection trials for tournaments like the Kanga Knockout are simple and direct. You won't find any corporate bureaucracy here. You show up, play your natural game under my direct supervision, and get assessed on skill, temperament, and how you handle the real-world pressure of a match situation.
Why Trials Matter
To make it to the state level, you need to prove yourself in match conditions, not just during net practice. We host official selection trials for the Giles Shield, Harris Shield, and Kanga Knockout, giving you the chance to play for selection in front of experienced eyes.
The Reality of the Ground
We conduct these trials at Gandhi Maidan. It is not an air-conditioned facility with perfect turf. It is a real public ground with red soil. This is where you learn to adjust your stance, grip the ball in humid conditions, and deal with uneven bounces. This is where real cricketers are made, and we believe this is the only way to test a player's true grit.
What We Look For
I don't look for flashy equipment or polished stats. I look for mehnat. I want to see how you react when a ball swings, how you handle a bad shot, and how you bounce back. My job isn't to be your friend on the field; it is to tell you the truth about your game so you can actually improve. We have helped players like Harsh Salunkhe move from our nets to the U-19 Mahindra Shield selection matches by focusing on exactly this kind of intense, performance-based development.
If you are ready to stop practicing and start playing, come show us what you have. We don't promise success, but we do promise a fair chance to anyone who works hard.
