The National Cricket Academy (NCA) recently concluded a seven-week series of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) seminars for women coaches across the country.
The Coach Education department of the NCA conducted it. Sujith Somasundar led it and Atul Gaikwad, Apurva Desai and Rajib Dutta supported it.
24 BCCI Level 2 certified coaches participated. Former India cricketers with BCCI level 1 certifications also participated.
“Women’s cricket has been growing at a very fast pace. I believe the last seven weeks have been used well by our education department to connect with some of the women,” a press release quoted Rahul Dravid. Dravid is the Head of Cricket, NCA.
“India is seeing a great deal of young talent coming up from all parts of the country. NCA’s efforts to hone and nurture the skills of women coaches is appreciated. I would like to thank the team at the NCA led by Rahul for taking this initiative,” said Sourav Ganguly.
