Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin's passion for cricket never seems to diminish. Proving his affection for the game he has promised to set up a cricket academy in Mohali, Punjab. It was learnt that similar projects would also be started in others neighbouring states inducing Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana.
Azharuddin said, "There is no dearth of talent in India, but yes, everyone doesn't get the appropriate training and platform to showcase his talent. Here we shall carve the hidden talent and I am sure this 'world class' academy will produce international cricketers to leave a mark in the world of Cricket."
He informed that several former cricketers will be associated with the project and will share their experiences to bring the best out of the budding players. "Before starting up a venture where the career and future of players was to be shaped I wanted to be 100 % sure whether I would be able to justice with the responsibility. Once I was sure, I decided to set the ball rolling."
Talking about his first project that will be set up in Mohali Azharuddin said, "Cricketers from this part of the region have proved their mettle in the game and there is no perplexity that there is a lot of talent here but the new breed needs a lot of guidance and proper training."
