It’s a team sport, but the three key elements – batting, bowling, fielding – rely on individual skills. Traditionally it’s been played on a field with 11 players per side.

In his inaugural address, chief guest Dr Vinay Hegde said, “I have been a chief guest at many formal occasions, but this one is a unique one for me because as an ardent cricket lover myself, I had a privilege to inaugurate this exclusive Cricket shop. No doubt Cricket is the most popular game in India and has now the status of being our national game, it is glamorous, and enjoys a wide following among sports lovers, even here in Mangaluru. And for that matter, our energetic and dynamic Cricket Coach Santhosh Misquith has done the right thing by opening this shop in the heart of the City, where Cricket enthusiasts now have an exclusive shop to buy their cricket equipment. Being a Chairman of Nitte Education Trust, which manages nearly 30 institutions, I am inviting Santhosh to all of my institutions, thereby interact with the sports coaches, and I am ready to do business with SKIPPER, for all our Cricket merchandise, if Santhosh is willing to. I know he will! Best of luck and success galore to this Cricket shop”.
Fr Valerian D’Souza also speaking said, “Other day when I had stopped at Skipper, which was a small shop, but now extended, to buy a badminton racket, I was told that they only sell cricket items and no other sports items. Oh well, I had to shop at different sports outlet. But I am happy to note that Skipper being one of our Church tenants, is a full-fledged cricket shop dealing exclusively with a wide range of Cricket items, which will surely benefit the cricket lovers of Mangaluru. And one thing for sure, these days if you ask a student if he would prefer Cricket or Academics, he would opt for cricket. I am very confident that Skipper will do good and our young entrepreneur Santhosh Misquith will prosper in this enterprise”
Also speaking on the occasion, former MCC Mayor Mahabala Marla said “Mangaluru is a city of sports enthusiasts, and among them are cricket lovers in large numbers. Being associated with DKCA as president I very well know the popularity of cricket in Mangaluru, and many young cricketers from this City have emerged as state, national and international cricketers. I compliment Santhosh Misquith for his love towards this City, where he is showing great interest and dedication in training budding cricketers under the Karavali Cricket Academy banner. I know he is a qualified cricket coach, and those who get trained under him will surely be the future star cricketers of this country. This is indeed a unique cricket shop, and will surely attain success. Best of luck”
Dr Kishore Kumar CK addressing the audience said, “As a PD director, I know how hard it is to train someone in sports, especially cricket. It needs commitment, determination, dedication and sacrifice- and I have seen all these characters in Santhosh Misquith when I have watched him train young cricketers at the Academy training filed at University College grounds. With his active involvement and charismatic leadership, Santhosh has successfully brought in a more professionally organized structure into the academy. And also by launching this unique one-of-a-kind Cricket shop, he has also catered to the needs of budding cricketers for their cricketing needs. In the beginning, in any business, there will be hurdles and hassles, but I am sure that Skipper will surely be a successful venture of Santhosh, and I wish him all success”.
