Hyderabad, Oct. 26: Telangana Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir has announced plans to develop the Indira Gandhi Stadium in Kamareddy into a cricket training hub. The initiative aims to provide professional coaching, three practice nets, a quality pitch and opportunities for competitive matches to local youngsters.
Shabbir Ali, Advisor to the Telangana Government for SC, ST, OBC and Minorities, inspected the stadium on Monday with Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) Secretary Jeevan Reddy and CEO Imtiaz Khan. They reviewed the existing facilities and discussed improvements needed for regular cricket training.
Kamareddy Cricket Training Hub to Offer Coaching and Under-19 Matches
Shabbir Ali said Kamareddy had considerable cricketing talent but many youngsters lacked access to professional coaching and modern facilities. He stressed that financial difficulties should not prevent talented students from pursuing cricket.
He said the proposed facilities would help young players improve their skills and pursue opportunities at the State and national levels. He also highlighted the role of sports in developing discipline, determination, punctuality and teamwork.
The immediate plans include appointing private cricket coaches, installing three practice nets and supplying the equipment required for regular training. The HCA also plans to organise coaching programmes and Under-19 matches at the stadium.
HCA Secretary Jeevan Reddy said steps were being taken to appoint private coaches within a week. He added that the association would discuss constructing a cricket pitch at its forthcoming meeting.
The HCA will also examine a proposal to take the stadium under its supervision for management and cricket-related activities. These measures are expected to provide Kamareddy’s young cricketers with structured training and greater exposure to competitive matches.
Shabbir Ali said the government would coordinate with the relevant departments and sporting organisations to strengthen local sports infrastructure.
