Academy Life & Tours at Brigade Cricket Academy
Cricket is more than just net practice. Here, we build a family through hard work, rainy-day drills, and real-match exposure tours.
Rain? What is that? A fun game of cricket in the middle of a downpour. These are the memories that last a lifetime.
Shadow practice time for the players. This is a regular part of our warm-up, helping players get into the groove and visualize their shots.

Don't waste a single day. The rainy season is the best time to improve your fitness and skills when you can't have a full net session.

About Academy Life & Tours
When we take the boys on tours like our recent Solan tournament, it is not for a holiday. We look for challenging conditions because real cricket is not played in a comfort zone. They learn to adapt to different wickets, manage travel fatigue, and bond as a team, which you simply cannot teach inside the nets. It is about becoming a complete cricketer who can perform anywhere, not just on a familiar ground.
More Than Just Nets
At Brigade Cricket Academy, we believe in 'Tapasya'. Cricket is a journey of dedication. Our academy culture isn't about sitting around; it is about keeping the passion alive, whether that means using the rainy season to work on fitness or playing shadow drills on wet grounds when the nets aren't available. We don't believe in taking a day off just because the weather isn't perfect.
Why We Prioritize Tours
We organize regular tours—like our trips to Solan, Himachal Pradesh—to give our students a taste of competitive life. These tours are rigorous. They involve:
- Match Simulation: Playing on varied surfaces to build adaptability.
- Physical Endurance: Managing travel and playing consecutive matches builds the stamina needed for longer formats.
- Team Bonding: When the boys spend time together off the field, they understand each other better, which reflects in their on-field coordination.
A Family Environment
I want my students to feel like they are part of a family. Whether it is a quick selfie after a long day of play or a dip in a river to cool down after a match, these moments build character. We are not just a coaching center; we are a training ground for life. From the youngest 5-year-olds to our U-14 test match squads, everyone learns that discipline and having fun are two sides of the same coin.
