Seward commented: “There are a lot of very good schools around Windsor. There’s one that’s a co-educational school with weekly boarding.

With players like Rakesh Kumar, Sandeep Narwal, Abhinandan Kumar, Deepak Narwal, Gurvinder Singh, Ravi Dalal, Amit Hooda and more, the team boasts of sporting talent that can win matches on their own.
