The first MS Dhoni Cricket Academy (MSDCA) in Uttarakhand will open at Roorkee on December 3. Currently, the process of registration for the academy is underway.
Addressing the media here on Friday, the cricket academy’s manager and former international cricketer, Mihir Diwakar said that the academy’s attempt is to facilitate good cricket coaching even in small towns. MSDCA is an institute of Aarka Sports founded in 2014. Diwakar said that so far about 35 academies have been opened across the nation. Children aged above six years are coached in cricket in the academy. If some child is talented but lacks financial support, scholarship will also be facilitated in such cases, he added.
Ankit Mendiratta of VG Sports, operating the academy in Roorkee, said that the attempt will be to nurture talent like Rishabh Pant in Roorkee itself. The MSDCA is being set up about three kilometres from Roorkee city along Haridwar Road. While registrations are currently underway, the coaching will start with the inauguration on December 3.
