Several master class sessions were held at the inauguration of the Rajasthan Royal Academy of New Jersey. Coach Sid Lahiri, Global Head of Academy, Rajasthan Royals; Coach – Rajasthan Royals; Batting Coach – Paarl Royals; Assistant Coach – Barbados Royals brings vast current experience in professional coaching and operating academies to this newly inaugurated academy.
“Known as the “Team of Firsts”, Rajasthan Royals has carved a niche as the one that discovers young talent. A shining example of this being the Rajasthan Royals winning the inaugural IPL in 2008,” one of the organizers said.
The master classes provided the players an opportunity to learn from Coach Sid the “Royal Way” of playing the game. The academy coaches were also put through a day-long coaches training into the “Royals Way” of coaching and playing the game. RRANJ is excited at the possibilities that can now be explored and the collaboration is looking forward to “Transforming Cricket through Innovation” and discover, develop, nurture and promote young cricketing talent in the USA.
The United States is co-hosting the 2024 T20 World Cup with West Indies this summer. The USA leg of the 2024 T20 World Cup will take place in the vibrant cities of New York, Texas (specifically Grand Prairie), and sunny Florida. The decision to select the USA as a co-host for this prestigious tournament alongside the West Indies was a strategic move by the ICC. It serves two key goals: capitalizing on the North American market’s potential for cricket’s growth and advancing the ICC’s ambition to include cricket in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
