Built by a bowler
Our first user was our founder. Five weeks after breaking a finger on his bowling hand, he captained his squad in England — and came home Best Bowler of the tournament.
Recovering under his doctor's care, 16-year-old founder Jiansh Maker used Howzat to monitor his technique and workload through rehab.
June 2026 — captained the SCCAY regional squad on its England tour and beat English sides on home soil.
Best Bowler of the Tournament — "for leading with discipline, accuracy, intensity, and wicket-taking ability."
Every rehab session lives in the app's logs. That conviction won 2nd Prize at the IAI²O North America prelims — and a place at the MIT Global Finals.
