Hi there!
Before diving into Aki's journey, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you — the reader, the cricket lover, the dreamer.
This is my first novel.
It's a story born from passion, imagination, and countless hours spent living and breathing cricket. There will be highs and lows, thrilling moments, and maybe a few rough edges — but what I promise is this: every chapter has my heart in it.
This isn't just a casual tale. It's a journey of youth, ambition, teamwork, and the magic of the game. In the coming pages, you'll meet characters that live and breathe like real players, face real choices, and chase real dreams. And I can't wait for you to join them.
