“Cricket helps me relax.”

Geetika Kodali

“I started playing cricket three years ago because I saw my friends playing and felt like playing too. I enrolled in an academy and practiced three times a week. I am passionate about cricket and while playing, I just forget about school and stuff, so I enjoy the sport. It also helps me chill and have fun with my team. I am the captain of a team in San Ramon and play at pitches of games against other cities. I tried out for the USA women’s cricket team and am waiting for the results. I’ve been to Florida, Missouri and New Jersey to play cricket and am the all-rounder in my team. Hopefully, I can make a future out of cricket because cricket players are not being paid right now.”
