Hey! I'm Harold G

My Voice in the Game We Love

I am a Sales Executive and Life Coach by profession, but at heart, I have always been a student and admirer of cricket. This game has given us unforgettable memories, uniting people across cultures, generations, and nations. Over the years, cricket has evolved—new formats have emerged, new heroes have risen—but at its core, it remains the game we love.

Through this platform, I want to add my voice to the conversation. Beyond scores and statistics, cricket is about stories, lessons, and the emotions it stirs in all of us. Here, I invite you to join me for meaningful discussions—about the sport’s past, present, and future. Together, we can celebrate the legends, debate the changes, and reflect on what cricket truly means to us as fans and as people.

Because cricket is not just a game. It’s a mirror of life itself—discipline, resilience, passion, and joy all rolled into one.
