From Garage to Global: Our Journey in Cricket Gear Excellence

In the summer of 2013, a family wedding in Chicago unexpectedly sparked the beginning of our cricket journey. While visiting for our sister’s wedding, my brother Murtaza took part in local cricket matches and quickly noticed a significant gap in the market — a lack of affordable, high-quality cricket gear in the U.S.

Driven by his passion for the sport and entrepreneurial vision, Murtaza returned home with a bold idea: to start a cricket gear business from our garage. Together, we launched our venture by selling a handful of cricket bats, committed to offering quality products at accessible prices for the local cricket community.

By September 2013, our garage transformed into a small but determined cricket shop. Relying on word-of-mouth and a growing reputation for personalized service, we steadily built a loyal customer base. Players appreciated our attention to quality, affordability, and our ever-expanding range of equipment.

To connect with more cricket lovers, we created a Facebook page, offering updates, gear reviews, and a platform for the community to engage with us. This move helped us reach beyond our neighborhood and into the hearts of cricket enthusiasts across the country.

Thanks to the trust and loyalty of our customers, we’ve grown far beyond our original setup. Today, we stock a wide selection of world-renowned cricket brands including SS, SG, DSC, BDM, CEAT, MRF, CA, MB, Kookaburra, GM, Newbery, New Balance, Payntr, Shrey, Moonwalkr, Laver & Wood, Focus, Masuri, CP, Adidas, Puma, Aldred, SF, Kingsbury, Mongoose, HS, BS, and many more.

With demand rising, we expanded into two physical locations — in Chicago and Houston — where customers can receive hands-on service, expert advice, and a true cricket shopping experience.

To serve cricket players globally, we also launched a fully stocked online store. From the U.S. to international destinations, we proudly ship premium cricket gear worldwide, ensuring fans everywhere have access to the best equipment at competitive prices.

As we prepare to celebrate 12 years of serving the cricket community, we reflect on an incredible journey built on integrity, passion, and community. We’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing support, feedback, and trust our customers have shown over the years.

We’re also proud to share that our story was recently featured in the Houston Chronicle, highlighting our commitment to the cricket community and the success of our small business dream.

Looking ahead, we’re more motivated than ever to continue delivering exceptional customer service, expanding our product range, and sharing the love of cricket with enthusiasts around the world.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to the next chapter in cricket, community, and growth!
