Firdose moonda biography sample

The epitome of a trailblazer in cricket writing, Firdose Moonda is celebrating 15 years at ESPN Cricinfo, having cemented herself as one of the most credible among respected writers in the industry.

The storied start to her cricket-writing career began at school when she became a scorer, before deeper learnings were acquired through tertiary education at Wits University, where Moonda studied a degree in Law, Economics, and International Relations on a scholarship from the Carnegie Foundation. 

She explains how her sports media career with Cricinfo began. 

“I worked as the internet scorer at the Wanderers – that was when Cricinfo would pay the cricket union to have a scorer at the ground to do internet scoring and type ball-by-ball commentary.

So I did ball-by-ball commentary throughout my undergrad degree, and from there, I got a job working as a production assistant at the SABC in 2007, just after the T20 World Cup
