In the competitive tennis ball cricket circuit of Kutch, Gujarat, Maeez Brer is a name that carries weight. Popularly known as the Tiger of Kutch and KGF, he has built his identity through match-winning all-round performances in local and open tournaments.
Fearless batting, smart bowling spells, and calm decision-making under pressure define his game. Over the years, Maeez has become a trusted player in high-stakes matches, especially in tournaments like the Kutchmitra Premier League.
Early life and education
Maeez Brer was born on 5 October 1998 in Bhuj, a historic city in Kutch, Gujarat. His cricketing roots were shaped far from big stadiums. Most of his learning came from local grounds and competitive street-level matches.
A major part of his early growth happened at Kharsara Ground, Bhuj, where multiple matches often ran side by side. These games demanded quick decisions and mental strength. They helped sharpen his instincts and confidence.
Maeez comes from a modest family background. His father is a poultry farmer. Despite limited resources, his family supported his interest in cricket and trusted his choices. That support quietly shaped his discipline and work habits.

He completed his schooling at St. Xavier’s School, where he took part in multiple sports. Those years helped him build athletic balance and match temperament. Later, he enrolled at JBTC Commerce College, but could not complete his studies as cricket required more time and travel.
At the school level, Maeez represented his team in the Kutchmitra Cup Under-17, one of the biggest school tournaments in the region. His all-round displays during this phase marked him as a player to watch.
A strong early influence was Ashif Kasam Mokha from Varnora, Kutch. His encouragement pushed Maeez to stay serious about cricket during his formative years.
Cricket journey across regions
Maeez Brer’s journey has taken him beyond Kutch. He has played in several local and open tournaments across Gujarat, often performing in pressure situations as an all-rounder.
He also featured in major tournaments in Rajasthan, where he delivered standout performances. In one such event, his team defeated the side led by Rajasthan’s best Nadeem Dhanuri. Maeez finished as Player of the Tournament. In a rare gesture, he handed the award to Nadeem, earning respect across the circuit.
Maeez has also played cricket in Africa, gaining exposure to different pitches and playing styles. Later, he received opportunities to play in Gulf countries, but prior commitments stopped him from travelling.
His long-term goal remains clear. The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) is his dream stage. He missed ISPL Season 3 due to unavoidable reasons and is fully focused on preparing for ISPL Season 4.
Rise to local fame
Mandvi breakthrough, January 2021
On 31 January 2021, in Mandvi, during a tournament organised by the Evening Cricket Club, Maeez delivered a career-defining knock.
Facing a line-up that included Hitendra Sinh, Amir Sama, Aslam Mutwa, Jay Soni, Dinesh Nakrani, and Sikandar Bhatti, his team slipped to 88/5 in 7.2 overs, needing 67 runs off 28 balls.
With the match slipping away, Maeez played an innings of 58 runs off 21 balls. He turned the game around and sealed a famous win.
“That match was a life-changing moment for me. After that day, I never looked back.”
Salaya Mandvi Open Tournament 2021
Later in 2021, at Salaya, Mandvi, Maeez faced another steep chase. His team needed 131 runs in 7 overs.
Under heavy pressure, he scored 97 runs single-handedly against a disciplined attack. That innings confirmed his reputation as a player who delivers when the situation looks lost.
Playing style
Maeez Brer is a true all-rounder. Locally known as KGF, he is admired for his clear intent and attacking mindset.
His preferred shots include the lofted hit over long-on and the lofted shot through extra cover. Once set, he controls the tempo of the game. With the ball, he provides timely breakthroughs and keeps things tight.
In the field, he is quick, alert, and reliable.
As Maeez puts it:
“I play with intent. If the moment needs courage, I don’t hold back.”

Struggles and comeback
KPL Season 2 tested Maeez. He struggled with form, and his team exited at the league stage. Instead of stepping away, he returned to local matches, rebuilt his rhythm, and focused on basics.
That work showed results in KPL Season 3, where he played a key role in taking his team to the final.
Injuries have also shaped his journey. He developed tennis elbow in both arms, suffered a fracture in his left hand, and is currently recovering from an L1 vertebra dislocation. This phase has slowed him down but strengthened his discipline and patience. His focus remains on safe recovery and a confident return.
Personal life
Maeez shares a close bond with his family. His father, Ramzan Ismail Brer, attends matches whenever possible and follows live streams when he cannot.
He also credits his close friends Mamad Lota and Soyab Morariya for standing by him through injuries, form slumps, and personal challenges.

Maeez earns mainly through match fees from local and open tournaments. He also supports his family by helping in their poultry business.
Brand associations include Sawali Creation. Earlier, he was associated with Krishna Sports.
