The alignment of Dallas-area high-school cricket programs with the Comet Cricket Club at the University of Texas at Dallas offers a powerful bridge between scholastic sport and collegiate ambition. For students playing in the Dallas High School Cricket Federation, knowing that the Comet Cricket Club not only exists right here in our city but has proven itself by winning the 2025 National College Cricket Association Championship means they now have a real, visible next step. The club’s undefeated run through 32 of the best universities in the nation — culminating in a 40-run victory over the University of Florida — shows that Dallas doesn’t just participate in collegiate cricket; it leads it.

This partnership creates a meaningful pathway where young cricketers can learn directly from college players who have already achieved success at the national level. One of the most impactful connections has come through Sathvik Reddy Bellamkonda, a senior player for UT Dallas, who has guided many younger athletes in the area. To many high-school players, he has become more than just a mentor — he’s like a big brother, always willing to share advice, encouragement, and insight into what it takes to succeed both on and off the field. His involvement bridges the gap between high-school enthusiasm and college-level discipline.

Leading the Comet Cricket Club is Aryan Pathak, the club’s President, whose leadership and vision have been key to shaping the team’s success and expanding its reach beyond campus. Under his guidance, the club hasn’t just built a winning side — it’s become a hub for community engagement and a beacon of opportunity for young players in Dallas who dream of continuing their cricket journey.

Together, this partnership between high-school cricket and the Comet Cricket Club transforms the local cricket scene into a connected ecosystem. It ensures that every young player in Dallas can look ahead and see a clear path from school grounds to collegiate stadiums — from learning the game to living it at the highest level of student competition in the nation.
