KVN Bangalore Strikers may not have qualified for the knockout stages of the inaugural Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), but for their teenage wicketkeeper-batter Sharik Yasir, 14, the league has been one of the most exhilarating experiences of his life.
Interestingly, Yasir, the youngest participant of the franchise-based league, who hails from Gopalpora village in strife-torn Kashmir’s Kulgam district, did not expect to get through the selection trials of the franchise-based league. “At the trials I saw there were many senior and talented players around. I was under the impression that I won’t make it far, but somehow, with the blessings of my family and the support of my teachers, I got selected,” Yasir, who was picked up at the pre-tournament player auction for 3.2 lakh, told mid.day.com
