HLL to sponsor cricket academy
in city Ludhiana, April 14 Mr Chitkara said that the HLL had started sponsoring cricket academies- Lifebuoy Cricket Academy — in the state last year when it began imparting training in collaboration with the district associations at three centres Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala. After the success of these academies, Ludhiana had now been added in the list of centres, Mr Chitkara said. He further said that representatives of HLL from Mumbai would be visiting the city in couple of days to workout the plan in consultation with the LDCA. Twenty talented lads each in the u-15 u-17 and u-19 years category would be picked up during the two-days trials slated for May 11 and 12. The selected players would be enrolled in the academy and imparted training for one year free of cost. These boys would also be provided cricket kits and playing equipments by the sponsors. |
