Academy News, DDCA League Trials & Talent Opportunities

For a long time, I have been talking about fast bowling. Now it's time to show you. I am organizing an event to find the most complete fast bowler, using international standard equipment. Details will be shared in the next few days.

An important rule for our upcoming fast bowling event: participants must be over 16 years old. I believe a player should not be pushed into strength-based sports until they are physically and mentally mature. The event is on February 18th.

Here's how the winner of our fast bowling event will be decided. The final round will be with a Kookaburra ball, and the winner will be the one who bowls the fastest LEGAL delivery. No no-balls, no wides, no beamers. This is about real cricket.

This event is for girls too. There is no age limit for female participants. The winner will get a cash prize of 10,000 plus other equipment. The rules of legal delivery will apply to you as well. Get ready.

I have an idea for all these pace foundations. Let's have a contest. Bring your two best bowlers with 150-160 kph potential. I am ready to give a scholarship of 2 lakh rupees to each of the two winners we select. Let's invest in real talent.

I've installed lights at the academy for two reasons. First, for school students who can only practice in the evenings. Second, for those who work during the day to support their families. Now you can chase your dreams without compromise.

A complete cricketer is one who can perform in all conditions. I encourage my players to train at other academies to face different wickets and bowlers. Cricrun in Gurgaon is one such amazing facility I recommend.
