BCCI-NCA Conducts Level 2 Courses For Retired Cricketers

The National Cricket Academy (NCA) in a first-of-its-kind initiative has conducted two fast track Level II courses for international cricketers and cricketers who have played over 75 first-class games

"Experience gained through the rigours of playing first-class and international cricket coupled with knowledge of the technical and tactical intricacies of our game makes for a great combination for a coach. I believe we have some of the best coaching talents in the world and these courses conducted by the NCA will greatly benefit not only those that have participated in it but also the next generation of cricketers who will be coached by these coaches," said BCCI president Sourav Ganguly in the statement.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that the course was important to develop future coaches.

"The BCCI has always looked to support the growth and development of its coaches and these courses are a testament to that. It is heartening to see former and current cricketers taking up this opportunity to upskill themselves as coaches. The future of Indian Cricket continues to remain bright given the continued involvement and enthusiasm of some of our cricketers even post their playing careers," he said.
