Before he was Head Coach, Monty Desai, Cricket Association of Nepal, Mrugang “Monty” Desai was simply a proud Indian sharing the common bond that ties together almost the entire nation – his unwavering love and loyalty for the game of Cricket. He grew up watching stories like that of Sachin Tendulkar unfold and dreamed of one day standing in those same ranks. However, as fate would have it, not far into adulthood, Monty realized that his love and loyalty to cricket extended beyond just playing the game. In fact, he was exceptionally talented in bringing out the best in other players, and thus began his journey as a cricket coach.

Anyone already acquainted with Sporrtslife will tell you that Monty’s coaching style is both effective and unique, which explains the international success he has garnered in this arena. Having coached at nearly every level, one fundamental value that has never changed is Monty’s deep-rooted belief that the love for cricket a young child has unmatched and deserves proper nourishment to give each little boy or girl in this cricket-loving nation a true chance at tapping into his or her inner potential and fostering an ability to reach greatness.

He is both the inspiration and driving force behind the Sporrtslife way, a holistic, grassroots approach to coaching young cricketers to empower their own journeys with a strong foundational understanding and commitment to his coined “Happy Dressing Room” culture.
