The new partnership, launched in Mumbai today, sees Cricket Victoria join forces with KheloMore Sports, led by former Indian international cricketer Jatin Paranjape, to launch the MCA into the Indian school system.

With a focus on providing high-quality cricket coaching and development opportunities, the MCA will support program participants while providing new opportunities for Indian schools, coaches and young cricketers alike.

The MCA offers a comprehensive cricket coaching program broken into three 12-week blocks designed to equip participants with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in the game. Through tailored coaching sessions, and mentorship opportunities, participants will experience personal and athletic growth while forging lifelong connections with fellow cricket enthusiasts.

For Indian schools, the MCA presents a unique opportunity to enhance their sports curriculum and enrich the educational experience of their students. By partnering with the MCA, schools gain access to accredited coaching expertise, and the chance to showcase their commitment to holistic student development.

Cricket Victoria CEO Nick Cummins said the MCA was an important strategic opportunity.

“We want to see the Melbourne Cricket Academy build on the legacy of cricket excellence in India. By providing a platform for aspiring cricketers to hone their skills, we aim to inspire a new generation of cricketing ambassadors who will champion the spirit of cricket on the global stage.”
