Rohit Sharma will visit in his free time:

Speaking of the launch,  the Singapore Cricketer, Parag, who is the head now quoted that they have approached Rohit Sharma in 2018 to start an academy, which finally worked. They want to improve the quality of cricket at grassroots levels to help the youngsters deliver the goods.

“When the CricKingdom team first approached Rohit in Mumbai in April 2018. He remarked that he had been asked many times to provide recommendations to friends and kids on what academy to join. And, he didn’t really have the answers to that. He was unsure if the academies at the grassroots level were actually providing the holistic education and training needed to thrive in modern cricket”, Parag Dahiwal said, as per Deccan Chronicle.

“Barring his international and professional commitments, Rohit will be visiting the academies whenever available. Moreover, he will also have online motivational sessions for our cricketers whenever he is travelling. Only a select few get to represent their state or national teams. Rohit felt that it was imperative that world class training is provided to all so as to increase the talent pool,” he added.

Abhinav Mukund is a chief guest:

Rohit Sharma is the third cricketer after Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin to start an academy. Abhinav Mukund, who represented the Indian team will be the chief guest during the launch.

Meanwhile, it comes to know that the Indian fast bowler Dhawal Kulkarni and Prashant Naik will be coaching the youngsters. Prashant has got quite a few records in the domestic circuit.
