Pakistan cricket is on the verge of a transformation, spearheaded by former fast bowler Aaqib Javed. Taking the reins as the new director of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore, Javed has unveiled an ambitious six-month plan to not only revamp the NCA but to set a new global standard for cricket academies.
His vision extends beyond the Lahore-based NCA. Javed intends to establish a structured system within the next six months, with a clear focus on talent identification and development. This includes the creation of regional branches, ensuring a nationwide reach and access to high-quality coaching and rehabilitation services for aspiring cricketers.
This bold initiative aims to nurture young talent from across Pakistan, providing them with the resources and expertise needed to compete on the international stage. The ambitious timeline suggests a rapid and significant overhaul of Pakistan’s cricket training infrastructure, promising an exciting future for the country’s cricketing potential.
