People often ask founders where they see their company in five years.
It's an obvious question.
But when I think about Kabuni five years from now, I don't immediately think about an office, a number on a spreadsheet or how large the company might become.
I see a cricket ground.
I see twenty teams that actually mean something to people.
I see players pulling on their shirts and knowing exactly what that badge represents. I see rivalries that have developed over years. Schools wanting their chance to compete. Coaches who know their players inside out. Franchise owners standing on the boundary genuinely nervous about the result.
I see parents watching.
Friends cheering.
And kids desperate to be the next ones out there.
That's the Kabuni I want us to build.
Of course, technology will be a huge part of it.
Imagine a young player being able to understand their game in ways that were once only available to professionals. Imagine getting guidance from extraordinary coaches, seeing where you're improving and knowing exactly what you can work on next.
That's exciting.
But I've always believed we have to be careful about what technology is actually there to do.
For Kabuni, the screen should never be the final destination.
It should lead you to the pitch.
And perhaps the part I'm most excited about is that we genuinely don't know where that can eventually take us.
Cricket is our beginning.
But if we can prove that schools, coaches, technology, businesses and people who simply love sport can come together and create more opportunities for young people to play, why should that idea stop at cricket?
Maybe it doesn't.
There are going to be plenty of milestones between now and then. Teams will be built. Franchises will grow. Matches will be won and lost. We'll get things right, and I'm sure we'll get a few things wrong.
That's part of building something.
But five years from now, there's really only one question I want us to be able to answer.
Did more people step onto a field because Kabuni existed?
If the answer is yes, I'll be proud of what we built.
Everything else is just the scoreboard.
