My father is a very big cricket fan. When I was little, we both watched the game. I learned many of the basic skills needed to play cricket from my father. My dad brought me a bat when I was 6 months old and it was my first cricket bat. I have taken care of this bat and it is currently in India. I couldn't lift the (wooden) cricket bat for two years because they are heavy, I would play with a plastic bat. At first, cricket was difficult for me to learn because there were a lot of rules. As I live in the city and I don't have permanent access to the field, I played with my friends on the field.
