Hi, I’m Jeremy Majoe and I have been selected to be a member of the KiwiCaps team to tour India in April next year!
Please take a moment to read my story!
4 balls remaining and 4 runs needed to win…
I quickly glanced around the field and took my stance. The bowler trundled in and fired a quicker one. I let my instincts built on hours of practice take over. The cover drive, a little squarish, brought the winning runs and my teammates screaming into the ground! A good sense of the job well done prevailed at winning the game for Western Districts against Counties Manukau.
A journey that started when I was just 5 years, when I played my very first game for Waitakere Cricket Club, had just turned another leaf. I know I have many more years to go and many tests to pass, but I would like to see myself as a Black Cap one day. I have been working hard towards this goal ever since. I have been blessed to be coached by incredible people like Jacob Oram, Robert O’Donnell, and my coach Sahil Mehta.
I moved on from Waitakere to Suburbs Newlynn Cricket Club and have now completed 4 seasons with them. This paved the way for me to play district level cricket for Western District Cricket Club.
I was a member of the winning team from Liston College that traveled to Australia in January 2016 to compete in the Christian Brothers Cricket Carnival Tournament. This was indeed a proud moment to know that Liston College was the first school from NZ to win the cup.
I currently open the innings for Western Districts and Liston College.
Throughout my young cricketing career, I have received numerous awards – a few of which I would like to share below;
- Year 9 Tournament Team (District Tournament 2016-17)
- Batting excellence certificates 2015-16 season
- Ideal Player of the year 2015-16 season
- Player of the Year – Liston College 2014-15 season
I have always believed that an aspiring player could achieve excellence only when he exposes himself to different playing conditions. I am listing below some of the coaching workshops and tours that I have undertaken or registered for, thanks to the excellent support from my family and well-wishers:
- 3 Day clinic with Ex Blackcap Jacob Oram at Manawatu Cricket Club – Palmerston North (July 11th -13th 2017)
- 10 Sessions with Auckland Aces player Robert O’Donnell – organised by Queen’s Street Cricket Club
- 11 Week Winter Academy with Western Cricket – July 2017
- 11 Week Academy with Liston College – preparation for Brisbane Tour in January 2018
- Liston College to tour Australia January 9th -19th 2018
- KiwiCaps tour to India by Jacob Oram – April 2018
I hope one day I become an inspiration to many other young New Zealand athletes!
