Former cricketer Khalique Imran oversees Islamabad Cricket Academy nurturing young talent

ISLAMABAD, Aug 13 (APP): A cricket academy in federal capital, under the supervision of former cricketer Khalique Imran, is playing an active role in providing quality training to young cricketers and bringing new talent to the fore. Khalique Imran has played for Derbyshire Cricket in England and also represented Alfreton M.W. Cricket Club, where his performances were widely noted. Drawing on his extensive cricketing experience and deep understanding of the game, he now heads the academy in Islamabad, where he oversees the training and development of young players. The academy aims to introduce children to modern cricket techniques, fitness, discipline and the fundamental principles of the sport, so that talented youngsters can hone their skills and gain opportunities to play at higher levels in the future. A key feature of the academy is its equal emphasis on both education and sport. Alongside cricket, children are encouraged to continue their studies and are also made aware of the importance of prayer, good character, discipline and a positive lifestyle. The academy administration also pays special attention to keeping children away from activities and environments that could negatively impact their education, character and future. Speaking on the initiative, Khalique Imran told APP that parents should encourage their children toward positive and healthy activities. He added that children with cricketing talent should be provided with proper training and opportunities so that the country can produce more skilled cricketers in the years ahead. Parents and aspiring young cricketers interested in joining the academy can contact the administration at Khalique Imran head coach (03313438899), Prince Abbass (03007717056) or visit the Punjab Cricket Ground near F10 round about opposite F10 Park.
