The Spot-fixing Paajis is an exciting high school cricket thriller set in small-town India featuring teenage investigator, Cricket Thambi. A close contest is expected when Guruswami Public School takes on Pervez Public School in a 3 match T20 cricket series in the small-town of Chintupuram in South India. GPS narrowly wins the first game and the spirit in the team is really good. But when it unexpectedly loses the second game from a winning position to seal the series, things turn ugly and the players accuse each other of being spot-fixers who deliberately underperformed based on instructions given to them before the game by a bookie. The head coach rubbishes all the spot-fixing talk but a little while later the youngest player in the team, Cricket Thambi finds out that two of his seniors were, in fact, spot-fixing in the game. But why were they spot-fixing? And more importantly, will the head coach be able to take disciplinary action against them? A note on The Spot-fixing Paajis 1) What is The Spot-fixing Paajis about? The Spot-fixing Paajis is an exciting high school cricket thriller set in small-town India featuring teenage investigator, Cricket Thambi. 2) Does a reader need to have a basic understanding of cricket to enjoy this book? Yes, a basic understanding of the game of cricket is desirable. That’s because there are sections in the book which use cricket terms (like long on, midwicket, cover drive, slower ball, no ball etc). But a reader who has no knowledge of the game can skim read these sections and still enjoy the book. 3) Why did you write this book?

The Spot-fixing Paajis is the result of my efforts and is the first book in the Cricket Thambi series. 4) What are the formats in which the book is available?
