Hi friends , Health is also a factor which we need to maintain day to day life.
Cricket and South Korea aren’t two words you often hear together, but that’s changing at the Korea Institute of Energy Technology (KENTECH). Nestled in the heart of the country, the KENTECH main campus is a bustling hub of academic excellence and cultural diversity. For those of us passionate about cricket, it has also become an unexpected haven for the sport.
When I first arrived at KENTECH, I never imagined that I'd be playing cricket, let alone preparing for a tournament. Cricket isn't a mainstream sport in Korea; football and baseball dominate the scene. But for the diverse student body at KENTECH, cricket is more than just a game; it’s a connection to home and a bridge to new friendships.
The KENTECH main campus offers sprawling green spaces that are ideal for outdoor activities. While these fields were likely designed with other sports in mind, they are perfect for cricket. The open expanses of grass, surrounded by the beautiful architecture of the campus, provide a picturesque setting for our games.
Every weekend, we gather with our cricket gear, ready to face off in friendly matches. The atmosphere is electric, with students from various countries coming together, cheering, and sharing their love for the game. The matches are a mix of serious competition and lighthearted fun, making them the highlight of our week.
Recently, we've been practicing more intensely as we prepare for an upcoming tournament. The thought of competing against other teams, possibly from different parts of Korea, has added an exciting edge to our regular games. Our practices have become more structured, focusing on improving our batting, bowling, and fielding skills.
There’s something special about playing cricket in a place where it’s not a common sport. It feels like we’re pioneers, bringing a piece of our culture to this part of the world. The camaraderie we share during these practice sessions is incredible. We push each other to improve while celebrating every little success along the way.
What makes playing cricket at KENTECH so amazing isn't just the sport itself, but the sense of community it fosters. On the field, we’re more than just teammates; we’re a family. We come from different backgrounds, speak different languages, and have different stories, but when we play cricket, those differences melt away. The game becomes a universal language, uniting us in a shared passion.
Moreover, playing cricket here has been an excellent way to introduce the sport to our Korean friends. Their curiosity often leads them to join us for a game, and before long, they’re hooked. It’s been wonderful to see cricket slowly gaining fans in Korea, one match at a time.
Playing cricket at KENTECH’s main campus has been an unexpected and rewarding experience. It’s a reminder that no matter where you are in the world, you can always find a way to connect with others through shared passions. As we continue to practice for the upcoming tournament, I’m excited not just for the competition but for the continued growth of our cricket community.
Whether we win or lose, the friendships we’ve built and the memories we’ve made are the true victories. And who knows? Maybe one day, KENTECH will be known not just for its academic prowess but also for its cricketing spirit.
