BCCI took a big decision for Indian athletes
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been supporting many other sports besides cricket in India. Meanwhile, the BCCI has taken a big decision for the athletes participating in the Olympics. The BCCI is going to unveil a new National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru next month. This NCA will have many new facilities for the players. Let us tell you that this NCA will be available to Indian athletes going to the Olympics apart from Indian cricketers. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah revealed that the new facility will be available to Neeraj Chopra and other Olympic players.
These facilities will be in the new NCA
The new NCA is expected to be operational from next month and is believed to have state-of-the-art facilities. As Jai Shah had earlier revealed, the new facility will also have three international-size grounds and 100 pitches, including 45 indoor ones. The new facility will also have an Olympic-size swimming pool and a modern rehab center for injured athletes. Jai Shah confirmed that the new NCA will be available to Olympic athletes. Many Indian athletes, including Neeraj Chopra, have previously preferred foreign coaches and training centers to prepare for international tournaments, but they will benefit greatly if the BCCI opens the doors of the NCA for them.
what did jay shah say
Jai Shah also spoke about the need for a new National Cricket Academy and said that it is unfortunate for the world’s number one cricket team to run the previous facilities from the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Jai Shah said that after taking over as secretary in October 2019, it took a lot of time to organize the IPL due to the pandemic. The office was closed for two years. When we got the second term in 2022, we decided that we have to take this project forward. Its foundation was laid in my first term.
He further said that we wanted to make the best use of whatever was available. In 2008, we got that land and I don’t know why the people who came to this position before me did not use it. I am fortunate that it was in my destiny to take the academy forward. It was unfortunate that we had to run the National Cricket Academy (NCA) from Chinnaswamy Stadium. We are number 1 in finance, number 1 in marketing and we are also number 1 in cricket. If you look at the rankings, we are number 1 in two formats and number 2 in one format. Earlier we were number 1 in all three formats.
