National Cricket Academy: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) inaugurated the new National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on Sunday. The world-class facility will now be called the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE).

The previous facility was operating out of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium premises since its establishment in 2000.

Now, spanning over 40 acres of land near Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, the BCCI Centre of Excellence features a total of three world-class grounds and 86 pitches, including both indoor and outdoor areas, highlighting its capacity to provide comprehensive training facilities. The three grounds are designed with white picket fencing and lush green seating mounds, reminiscent of English county grounds.
