Lack of infrastructure will not kill the dreams of those aspiring cricketers in Kanpur, for the first-of-its-kind, NICA indoor cricket academy is now open here. The space will enable training for all those who do not have the means or privileges to rent open grounds and practice their skills, at any time of the day. The indoor space will also cancel the effect of harsh weather conditions - like rain or heat, providing a stable pitch to players in training.

There is a need to boost the morale of emerging cricketers from small areas in the city, for they have the potential to bring honour to the city, said Kanpur Mayor Pramilla Pandey as she inaugurated the amenity on Sunday. All amenities will be provided to the train cricketers here and line them up for a bright career.

The infrastructure presently is complete with three types of wickets, which will help bowlers practice spin and fast bowling. Other wickets suitable for batting and practising accurate strokes, a bowling machine for batters and a three-mat pitch are also available here.
