End of cricket coaching at Rai marks the ‘end of career’ for some Sonepat, July 3 “Our careers have been ruined. Had the authorities notified this before our admissions, we would not have taken admission here. Our sole aim was to make a career in cricket,” said Kuldeep
Khapra, who has played in Under-19 tournaments at the national level. Nearly five dozen students of the Motilal Nehru School of Sports, Rai, who had taken admission here with the aim to use the cricket coaching facilities available in the school to make a career, are a disheartened lot. “The decision of the government has ruined the careers of budding cricketers and my eight year hard labour has become useless now,” said Kuldeep
Khapra, who is also the captain of the school team. “Had the government announced its decision before the admission process, we would have preferred to take admission at Chandigarh or Delhi, where better cricket coaching facilities are provided,” he said. Now, students affected by this decision are forced to “take part in other games” which are of no interest to them. They have no option but to join coaching for other sports such as basketball, swimming, gymnastics, athletics and hockey. |
