Anyone who loves watching cricket has good problem-solving skills and technical knowledge can easily do this job.”

Talking about his experience, Imran Hussain Majumdar said, “Since my childhood, I used to watch cricket on Television. But when I got the chance to work in India’s most iconic stadiums like Eden Gardens, Wankede, etc it was a dream come true moment for me.
