"I have known Masood Sir since my teens, and now after having played cricket across 3 major continents over the years, with my own experience I am being able to share that it is rare to meet someone as knowledgeable with such sharp tactical sense as Masood sir, I must say he is a man with the 'X-factor'. Additionally, I love his ability to motivate any person at any moment, to push one to their maximum potential and also his ability to communicate as a friend especially when the chips are down, is something I consider as very special and unique. Anyone out there who is looking for accurate guidance, take my word 'Masood Sir' is your go to man. All the best!"

"Masood Sir has helped me leaps and bounds both in my physical and mental aspect of my game. Although I live rather far from Calcutta Cricket Academy, it does not stop Masood Sir from reaching me and discussing the game with me and my brother with such enthusiasm. One thing that strikes me about Masood Sir is his sheer knowledge about the game one could only have if he deeply loves the game. This enthusiasm is reflected in the way he coaches. A system without favoritism is something that surprises me and is not very common in anywhere else I have trained. During the lockdown period, Masood Sir took the opportunity to help my mental aspect and spiritual aspect of my game. It is very common to find a coach that improves your technique however, Masood Sir separates from the ordinary by emphasizing on your mental and spiritual side of the game. He has made me understand that cricket is a sport where such aspects play as significant a role as the technical aspect of the game. The fact that Masood Sir has had such an influence on my game despite being so far reflects the standard of coaching found by Masood Sir and Calcutta Cricket Academy."

" Introduction about yourself (At the initiation of the conversation).
My son. Rounak is currently a U10 player - started his cricketing journey with Masood sir when he was 8 yrs old. The hands on approach to fix his batting & bowling technique has helped Rounak immensely. Also, I can’t thank more for helping on various mental aspect of the game.

From Where did you get to know about Mr. Abdul Masood and his Cricket Academy and the Online Cricket Coaching Session?
Online & then in Calcutta Cricket Academy

What made our services a good fit for you?
During our stay in India, we have been supported by various multiple coaches who are equally caring towards Rounak to learn the cricket basics. Also, during lockdown period, CCA has been able to adopt with the new ways of learning and provided us online training over the last one year. Ability to gel with the kids so easily makes him different from others.

Specifically, how are our services better than the ones you have tried?
Masood sir is uniquely placed in terms of his experience. As he has not only played First class cricket in India but also have spent a lot of summers in UK playing Club cricket. This is a very rare combination and all this experience mixed with his gentle & nurturing nature towards his students always helped them to learn from different match scenarios and helped them to understand not only batting or bowling but also various other aspects of cricket.

What results did you achieve by using our services?
Although a very long way to go, but Rounak’s batting skill has improved significantly with Masood sir and CCA’s councelling during our Kolkata visit as well as during lockdown period.."

"I started taking Masood Sir’s video classes for my son during the lockdown in London. At first, I was apprehensive about cricket training over video but I was pleasantly surprised with effective session Masood Sir was able to conduct and was able to connect with my then 8 year old son, Ansh. I would give all the credit to Masood sir for his amazing cricket knowledge, attention to detail, great communication and feedback providing skills for young kids and it was amazing to see how my son who normally is very distracted was focused and switched on during all these sessions. Coaching over video itself is new and challenging and when you have 8-year-old on the other side the challenge gets compounded but Masood sir made every session interesting by having a set objective in terms of what we wanted to achieve out of each session and every session would end with a fun yet challenging game which my son was always excited about. Most importantly – as a father, ECB L2 coach and cricket enthusiast , I could clearly see how driven and passionate Masood Sir is and for him its not about session, having a client oversea but it’s all about adding value, sharing knowledge, and helping young cricketer realise his potential and I could clearly see that in all his sessions and communications otherwise. Amazing human being, non-commercial attitude with wealth of knowledge and passion for game with obsession to see his students get better after every session that is how I would summarise Masood Sir. As a dad and contributor to session with throw downs etc, even I learnt so much from Masood Sir and had a pleasure of discussing things, cricket affairs and have always enjoyed those chats. Thank you so much Masood Sir from Ansh and me "

"Our son, Hrehaan, in his cricketing journey as a kid, had been to multiple academies and places. And so far we had been fortunate enough to remain closely associated in his journey. Based on all the experience we gathered so far, we can mention without a second thought that Masood Sir and his team in CCA provides a very well coordinated, structured and scientific cricket coaching powered by analytical thoughts and in depth technical knowledge. And this is driven as a very well-governed program which we feel is difficult to get, out in today’s market. In his journey with Masood Sir and CCA, Hrehaan has not only improved as a cricketer and developed the skills and guts to play even Under-17 at the age of 10+ , he has become more matured in his thought process and analytical abilities. We strongly believe that being coached and mentored by Masood Sir, is a blessing for Hrehaan which will help him in his journey of life. And being honest, not only Hrehaan, we as parent have learnt a lot as well through the small conversation that we directly have with Masood sir sometimes during the online sessions and sometimes offline as well."

"Our experience in Calcutta Cricket Academy (CCA) was extremely good and very memorable. Shayan benefited a lot from the training. Abdul Masood Sir has a fantastic eye for detail and zeroed in on Shayan's grip and head position within 15 mins. Abdul Sir worked as hard as Shayan to correct it. Everyday Shayan would focus on the fundamentals. Key shots (drives, cut and pull) were practiced numerous times through drills, while Abdul Sir maintained an eagle eye on every detail. he also suggested a few fixes which Shayan still uses.

The assistant staff is also very dedicated and extremely friendly. Shayan played his first 40-over game. Although the sides were internal, the game was very competitive. Shayan was very proud to be Man of the Match. We wish there was a facility like CCA and a coach like Abdul Sir in Singapore. Shayan misses everyone a lot and wants to go back there during summer. We envy the players in CCA who get such a fantastic opportunity of training there every day of the week."

"Masood Sir has helped me a lot both in developing my game and building the physical and mental aspect of the sport. Although I live far from Calcutta Cricket Academy, it does not stop Masood Sir from reaching me and discussing the game with me, whenever he gets the time to do so. He has deep and complete knowledge of the sport one could only that helps me a lot in clearing even the slightest of doubt that I might have. This enthusiasm is reflected in the way he coaches. I am continually learning the sport and looking forward to have a great career in the sport with Calcutta Cricket Academy and Masood Sir always by my side."
