The Home of the Warriors
AB Warriors Cricket Club was founded by former Canada Head Coach Amarinder Bhinder, also known as Coach AB. A highly respected and globally recognized cricket coach, Coach AB brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the club. His journey in cricket coaching began in 2004 when he moved to South Africa, where he quickly proved his coaching aptitude by becoming one of the few to pass Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) Level-3 coaching qualification on the first attempt.
A Global Coaching Journey
Coach AB’s career took off in Johannesburg, where he began coaching at Wits University. Over the years, he has had the privilege of working with many world-class cricketers, including Temba Bavuma, the white-ball captain of South Africa’s national team. His vast international experience and success in nurturing top talent have earned him respect across the cricketing world.
In 2018, Coach AB relocated to Canada, where he was appointed Head Coach of Cricket Canada in 2019, following his work with the Canada Development Program (CCDP). After mentoring numerous successful Canadian cricketers, Coach AB recognized the need to develop cricket at the grassroots level. His passion for supporting young players and fostering a love for the game led to the creation of AB Warriors Cricket Club.
Coaching Philosophy
At the core of Coach AB’s coaching philosophy is the belief in biomechanics, mental toughness, and the power of consistent practice. Grounded in sports science and research on motivation and grit, his approach emphasizes hard work and persistence as the keys to mastery. He is committed to helping players develop not only their technical skills but also their mental resilience.
In just a short time, AB Warriors Cricket Club has emerged as one of the fastest-growing clubs in Ontario, making a significant impact in local leagues. With a dedicated team of certified coaches, all of whom embrace Coach AB’s philosophy, the club offers one of the best cricket learning opportunities in Ontario and Canada.
