It's a matter of great pride to come from a state as historic & glorious as U.P. The state has a tradition of culture, civilisation & honour. The past of cricket is also as colossal here. We haven't won many titles but we have produced several players of competence, merit & value from time to time. My family is rooted from Ghaziabad & we have lived a life of elite class & quality in our journey. My coaching also happened in an elite academy in Jaypee City as I already stated in the coaching section & I'm going to talk of my I class stint here. My first UPCA instance happened in 1996 when I competed in the under-19 ladder & then spent four years here completing my Ranji days. All these years were full of strife, diligence & toil. I'm proud to have grown in this special association & benefitted a lot from them.
