MUMBAI: Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will inaugurate his global cricket academy in Singapore on 20 January 2018.
The academy will feature top international coaches from the region, working on a structured curriculum developed by Dhoni himself to fulfil his aim of making cricket a truly global sport. Academy centres will progressively open in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Japan and other cities across the region, says a statement.
The MS Dhoni Cricket Academy was started in India with Aarka Sports establishing the academy first in Jharkhand. Since then, it has started operating in other cities in India, and recently opened an international academy in Dubai last month.
“The aim of the academy is to bring kids and adults alike to the cricketing fold and make them world class cricketers, even those that have had limited experience with the game thus far,” said Shubham Gupta, head of marketing for MS Dhoni Cricket Academy Singapore.
