    Right-handed top order batsman, right arm leg spin 

    I am 20 years old and was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. People like to call me a variety of different names, often just Potdar but also some commonly used nickname that are used to call me are Shrey, or Potdar. At the moment I am in the first year of my bachelors degree and studying econometrics at the university of Amsterdam. Hopefully I will be able to complete it in the allocated 3 years. Cricket wise I am an all-rounder, top order right-handed batter and bowl right arm legspin. I initially started playing at the age of 4 with my father in the backyard and have enjoyed it ever since. I joined ACC at around the same age and since then have played most of my cricket there. My ambitions are to play at the highest level and ideally along the way contribute to victories for ACC.

My dad has a small supermarket almost for 12 years, so since my younger years I have always been involved in the whole process, so I see myself as the Co-owner of the shop.

I was just casually watching the world cup 2011 where india played Australia in the semi-finals, and Yufraj Singh played an incredible innings. This innings made me love the sport and since then I never looked back. Not a real ambition but just going with the flow, and see where I end up… This is my 5th year at ACC, before I played at the rivals VRA. I wanted to become the best version of cricket career and ACC is the club that is providing me that. Coming back of a horrible ankle injury and scoring a 54 against Punjab Cricket Club. Or taking a 4 wicket haul on my debut for ACC against VRA(my former club).

    Zinesh Master (nr. 6)

    Right-Handed Lower Order Batsman, Right Arm Leg Spin

    When were you born and where?: Amsterdam-zuidoost, 02-06-2005

    School situation : ik zit op de middelbare school in bijlmer momenteel doe ik 4 havo

    Living/family situation: ik woon samen met mijn ouders thuis en met mijn broer Shirt number: 2

    How did you start playing cricket? Ik begon met het spelen van cricket toen ik 7 jaar oud was. Mijn vader keek destijds al cricket omdat hij in zijn jeugd ook cricket heeft gespeeld. Door mijn vader begon ik ook met het kijken van cricket wedstrijden en als gevolg ook met het beoefenen. Toen ik ongeveer 9 jaar oud was heb ik mij aangesloten bij ACC.

    Cricket ambition Mijn cricket ambities zijn dat ik een hele fanatieke cricket speler ben. Zelf vind ik van mezelf dat ik een hele goeie leg spinner ben met verschillende variaties. Dit kan goed van toe pas komen om een batsmen te laten verwarren en niet comfort laten maken in zijn spel. Why do you play for ACC? Ik speel voor ACC, omdat mijn broer als eerst begon bij het spelen van ACC. Daarna sloot ik mij ook aan bij ACC. Ook is dit één van de dichtbijgelegen clubs bij mij in de buurt. Best cricket performance ever.

    Mijn beste cricket performance was mijn eerste 5 wicket haul tegen Qui Vive in de onder 13 en nog ook eens 30 runs met de bat
