This week in SPORTS TODAY our feature short story is profiling Mr. Ocran (President / Founder of Lathrop Cricket Club)

Ocran started playing Cricket at a very young age in Pakistan. From Galli (street/backyard) Cricket to playing for his high School (St Paul's English) and at local city level.  By trade Mr. Ocran is a fast bowler and can bat as well. However, he prefers bowling fast to medium pace and batting at 5th OR 6th position on a team. He consider himself a pace batsman not a heavy hard hitter of a ball, He leans more towards the strategic aspect of the game and likes to play skillful shots. He is currently executing his duties as the Founder and President of Lathrop Cricket Club. In the past he has led the formation of Livermore Cricket Club with a former friend, colleague from Livermore, California. He is very optimistic about the growth and expansion of cricket in Lathrop and surrounding cities.
