Homeground Cricket Academy
My Story
Hi, we’re Homeground Cricket Academy, started by Paul Valthaty, ek Borivali-Kandivali ka ladka (boy from Borivali-Kandivali). Paul used to drag his kit bag to Churchgate for just a few minutes of batting, so he built this academy in Kandivali. We learned pitch-making from scratch, made sure our wickets are top class. Now, even IPL pros drop in. Our dream? Give kids here the chances Paul never had. Maybe one day, they’ll play for Mumbai or India.
