Hi, my name is Animesh Shastri and I am 24.Having completed my undergraduate degree in Sports Management at the University of Mumbai, I moved to Manchester to further my expertise, recently graduating with an MSc in International Sports Business Management from Manchester Metropolitan University. I am currently working across various sporting environments to gain diverse, hands-on industry experience. I am deeply passionate about sports innovation, with cricket holding a special place in my heart. Coming from India, where cricket is essentially a second religion for people of all backgrounds, the game is part of my identity. During my studies, I began volunteering with Lancashire County Cricket Club and the Foundation; that experience was transformative and shaped the professional skills I carry with me today.
