Is it too late to become a pro cricketer?
Hi guys,I am new to this site. I am really sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I recently have visited a cricket stadium and went crazy after seeing the atmosphere. I was thinking of start playing cricket again in order to achieve my dream of becoming a pro cricketer.
I started playing cricket at the age of 5 and was in cricket academies. All my coaches always praised me and said you are the future, things like that which boosted my confidence a lot. Then at the age of 12 i moved from bangladesh to new zealand for family reasons. I stayed at NZ for two years where I joined cricket academies and returned to bangladesh. But after the age of 14 i quit cricket due to studies. Now i am 19 and wanna get back at cricket and start practicing every single day, work very hard. But do you think i can make it to the top level? I am moving to new zealand next year, start playing again. But i am very overweight now standing on 120kg 5.8 inch height .

The mere fact that you are asking us, tells us that you doubt yourself! You just want us to say "Yes", so it'll please you and make you a little happier inside.
If you're honestly determined, anything can be achievable!

What is your height? That is an important statistics for me to say "yes" or "no".

Bro Im 17 and play A grade as an opener, i started from 10D's as a number 9 batsmen.. abitions ddrove me to where i am today, hopefuly into national colors later. Bro i quit cricket last season out of laziness but now im leading runs scorer for my club. Its tough. Studies & Ambitions. But if you have drive and motivation u can become inshallah. Im rather lazy. Coaches and parents have praised me aswell but my parents are rather strict and wouldnt want me spending all my time training and hitting the gym restricting my full potential atm. In simple yes you can. Train hard. Hope i can finally resolve bds long term issue of TI's partner :P

5 feet 8 " as stated in the opening post.
@ Rahman94
Even before the skills part, your first serious challenge is your weight. With that kind of BMI index you are likely to struggle with most sports. If you want it badly then get your weight under control and get into a physical shape that resembles current cricketers in the national setup. After that you can re-evaluate your chances
