"We have plans to open more academies in tier 2 and tier 3 cities which will assist the budding cricketers to get trained in the right manner. In the ongoing Ranji Trophy, one of our players, Yashasvi Rishav from CAP, Patna who is representing Bihar State team, has scored a brilliant hundred", he said.

He said to record and track the progress of CAP students, an in-house 'CAP App' is developed. It also helps coaches to organize training and coaching sessions with the students. Very soon, CAP will be organizing an interactive session with the Pathan brothers for our students through the app.

"We want to help as many cricket aspirants as possible to give them an opportunity who love the sport and need access to world-class coaching infrastructure," he said.

He further added that CAP is also planning tours to other countries for giving match exposure under different environments to the young buds. It also plans to organize an all India CAP tournament where every CAP centre will participate.

"The academy also focuses on nutrition, psychology and the overall physical development of the students. We are aiming to launch 20 more academies in different cities of the country, for which CAP have pledged to invest Rs 2 crores towards it," he said, adding that the CAP aims to become the preferred academy for cricket coaching across the country.
