The Two Scholars
Week 01

​
It is a great honour to be given the chance, by Anita Miles Foundation, to come to the UK to play cricket. I firmly believe that it will be an incredible experience, both in cricket terms and personal development. I will definitely make the most out of this experience.
​
My first week has been fruitful. I had my very first 1-to-1 session with Nancy Harnan. It was an enjoyable session in which I acquired a few bowling and batting skills. It is exciting to experience different coaching approaches and methods. These have undoubtedly opened my horizon and developed my skills.
​
This first week has also been full of new experiences, especially after returning to cricket after a long break. It has been a long while since my last 40-over game. I am happy to be playing in such format again and regaining the sense of competing. It was a good contest and I am glad to contribute to the team with my batting skills and to build a good partnership with my teammate, Amelia.
​
In the coming weeks, I will use the momentum built in this week to propel my training and to integrate with my new team, so I can learn as much as I can during my stay in the UK.

Anita Miles, one of the person who let me keep playing cricket until now. Thank you so much the Foundation giving me this opportunity to come to UK playing cricket and explore my cricket world. I met my teammates on unfortunately game called off at Aldershot Cricket Club. We watched boy’s cricket and had a drink at the end. Talyor one of my teammate friendly gave us a ride back home.
I got excited to get on train to The Ageas Bowl for 1 2 1 training with Nancy Harman, learnt new skill of variation and fun fielding. She gave us a ticket to watch the Hawks vs Glamorgan game, it was so Cold and Rainy day.
Hayes Family friendly gave us a ride to match ground. Debut for Aldershot Cricket Club again my roomie Charlotte, Alton Cricket Club . I got the bowling chance and was happy to get 2 wickets for Aldershot Cricket Club.
More cricket will come, enjoy the first week in UK.
