OT Ayush Shukla has played in the cricket Asia Cup! This is what Ayush had to say about the experience:

“The tournament was an amazing learning experience for me. Playing the highest level of cricket against the best teams really shows you the commitment and mindset required to perform at that level. The one thing I can take away from that experience as a bowler is that keeping your mind and plans clear is the best way to execute in every situation. 

Taunton School’s cricket programme really taught me how to bowl with the new ball. Being able to control swing is something I have been able to use when playing for Hong Kong. Early on in T20 cricket when the ball is new, being able to get swing allows me to potentially take early wickets and put the opposition under pressure. Using the red ball during my time in Taunton allowed me to learn those skills and gain that experience.”
