When I started playing cricket in 2009 I did not have any equipment and at that time I knew nothing literally nothing about bats, pads, gloves etc. So I called my Uncle in Pakistan who have played First Class decades ago in Gujranwala [when there used to be cricket there] so he sent me following stuff;
- Pakistan Masuri Helmet
- AM 2Good Batting Pads and Batting Gloves
- Plain Pakistani Bat with 'Babber Sher' stickers
- Youth/Boys Size Thigh Pad and Elbow Guard
- Youth/Boys size brief and a box
I was in deep love with Gray Nicolls brand at that time because I like Mohammad Yousuf and since he was sponsored by them I wanted Gray Nicolls as well so I sold above kit [except bat, thigh guard and elbow guard] and added more from my pocket and got following [in July 2009];
- Gray Nicolls Powerbow 3 Star Bat, Batting Pads and Batting Gloves.
- Yonker Helmet
I still remember the first game I played I went at number 11 and used clubs/teammates gear [BDM pads, random companies gloves and SS Kashmiri Willow bat].
So I played with the above Gray Nicolls kit for a while then got CA 12000 Plus Pads from Pakistan [Mom brought along herself in September 2009]. After getting those pads and gloves I got CA 12000 Plus bat in November 2009 then bought MB Malik Bubber Sher for brother in December 2009 and then bought Gray Nicolls Nitro 5 Star pads [in February 2010][sold Powerbow 3 Star pads and gloves] and then journey goes on and on.
This was my kit on 29 November 2009
