Few Words of Appreciation

From parents, players and well wishers

To Mr Hemant Buch, I am aware that you have been conducting cricket coaching camp and have also participated in the tournament locally, and done quite well. I also got to know that the ICC have appreciated your effort in conducting a cricket coaching camp and developing cricket in America. I want to congratulate all of you at CCA for your wonderful efforts in giving opportunities to young cricketers at the grass-root level. I personally feel that it is extremely important for young budding cricketers to get the right direction on the cricket field and proper guidance, and by giving them the proper guidance and opportunity to play cricket in a good environment, you have taken a very positive step and I am quite sure that you will continue to do this wonderful job in future. My good wishes to you.

Hi, it’s John Wright here, Indian Coach. Just wish you all the very, very best for your new academy. I certainly hope that it generates lots of interest over there. Cricket is a game that is growing and certainly in your part of the world if it can grow that’s great for the game itself. And for all those Indian fans who may be there, on behalf of the team, I send my very best wishes and all the very best for your new academy!”

Dear Clint and Hemant,
A huge thank you for being our guest speaker today in my Kennedy Physical Education classes. What a tremendous day we had learned and played an introductory version of the game. My students and I appreciate your knowledge and expertise and your wonderful demeanour.
Thank you from the bottom of our “wickets”!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful cricket workshop today! Your coaches were very informative, professional, and enthusiastic, and the students thoroughly enjoyed the entire presentation. Also, I appreciate the cricket information and the ‘free’ cricket equipment. I will definitely incorporate cricket into my PE lessons! I am also going to speak with my PTA about organizing a cricket workshop after school for the students, perhaps after school one or two days a week. I will see about getting the PTA to help organize. Just let me know…..
