With experience across different formats, conditions and levels of the game, Umar brings a deep understanding of what it takes to develop and perform as a cricketer.
At UACA, his coaching is centred around the individual player understanding their strengths, refining their technique, developing their fitness and game awareness and building the confidence and mindset to perform under pressure.
Umar’s focus is clear: to help every player understand their game, maximise their potential and become a more complete cricketer.
Your game has more potential. Let’s unlock it.
Head Coach
As an ECB level 2 cricket coach and level 2 fitness coach, I combine my knowledge of cricket and fitness to help players become stronger, fitter and more complete cricketers. I understand the physical demands of the game and use this knowledge to develop cricket-specific fitness, movement and strength and conditioning alongside technical skills.
My aim is to help players improve their performance, reduce the risk of injury and build the confidence to perform at their best on the field.
I also have experience playing football, having been signed to Brighton & Hive Albion as a junior and later representing my university first team. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of the commitment, discipline, physical demands and mindset required to perform at a high level. I bring this experience into my coaching, helping players develop not only their sporting ability but also the mentality needed to perform at their best.
