11th May 2018, New Delhi – Cricket Academy of Pathans launched its first centre in the National Capital, in the presence of ace cricketer Yusuf Pathan and Mr. Harmeet Vasdev, Managing Director (CAP), at a press conference held at Vidhya Bharati School in Rohini, New Delhi. The academy will employ state-of-the-art coaching techniques to teach and develop budding cricketers in New Delhi.

Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP), currently present in nine cities- Delhi, Noida, Bengaluru, Rajkot, Surat, Sonipat, Port Blair, Raipur and Lunawada, aims to provide world-class coaching and training infrastructure to young children. Australian cricketing legend Mr. Greg Chappell, former coach of the Indian Cricket team and Mr. Cameron Tradell, renowned coach from Australia have designed the curriculum for the coaching program.

CAP has pledged to invest INR 2 crores along with partners for further expansion across India in various cities of Gujarat, Punjab, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. With a group of select, qualified expert coaches, the Pathan brothers, Irfan and Yusuf, had launched these academies 2 years back to reciprocate their love for the game.

In the words of Mr. Yusuf Pathan- Director, Cricket Academy of Pathans, “We at CAP, are trying to create an eco-system which will benefit not only the students but also the coaches through a two-way learning process.  Through this, we will be able to set the benchmark for cricket academies in India”.

Yusuf also spent quality time interacting with students and their parents. He advised students on the different pathways that they could follow to succeed in the sport and also made them aware of the many different qualities learnt playing the sport that aid the personal development of an individual.

The academy provides coaching for kids to play cricket as well as those who aspire to become coaches in order to understand the technicalities of the game and in return execute their learned skills on kids. Also, the academy focuses on nutrition, psychology and the overall physical development of the students.

Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP) has tied up with UK based Cricket technology partner- Pitch Vision to track students’ performance in real time via a cutting-edge technology program. This technology closes the gap between the Pathan brothers, coaches and the students.

According to Mr. Harmeet Vasdev, Managing Director, CAP– “The CAP program has set focus on each week with varied outcomes depending on the level of the participants. CAP programs give a holistic approach to the development of cricketers. The mental approach to the game, knowledge of the game and gaining experience is equally as important as the development of physical skills. The CAP program creates intrinsically motivated players who thrive on competition and understand that there are consequences to actions.”

Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP) plans to open 20 more new academies in various cities of India by mid next year, with openings soon in Ludhiana, Patna, Kota, Mysore, Akola, Jodhpur, Pune, Mainpuri and Morbi.
