Heaping praise for Shubham Khajuria, coach Varinder Sharma said, “Shubham is a tremendous cricketer, who always loves to be in action. Players like Shubham are the future of modern day cricket. He has the honour of steering J&K to many wins with his batting display.”

The coaching staff there was brilliant, who worked hard on the basics and prepared us for the bigger circuit. However, NCA has played a very big role in my development as a player as the training there has helped me to have full measure of my strengths and weaknesses”.
