i am 6 feet tall , 23 years old from chandigarh. i have been playing gully cricket since my childhood . my question is that can i start playing professional and look forward to play for my nation and some kind of a career at the international level ?
I wanna be a fast bowler if i start playing professional cricket now and i am very passionate about my cricket .
I would dearly appreciate an honest and to the point suggestion . thanx

you don't appear especially passionate and probably wouldn't put in the right amount of work. Would need to work at it every day - till 8 o'clock.
and drink raw eggs for breakfast.

At least in the last 50 years you would be the 1st ever international player to start at the age of 23 to the best of my knowledge. Does that help? I posted about passion because some people say that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. you would also need a large budget to hire a top coach.
I would say the chances are like 1 in 10 billion that you could pull it off if you like probabilities.

Do you have the ability to grow facial hair? Specifically a moustache?

I believe David Hussey first picked up a cricket bat when he was 27 actually, so you're more than a chance.

No, he was a squash player until 26, never played cricket before then someone (probably his cousin, Michael) told him he should try his hand at cricket.

You've convinced me. Keep growing your facial hair and eating the raw eggs and you can make it mate.
