In a move aimed at bolstering cricket development, the Government of Punjab has officially handed over two High-Performance Centres to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Situated in Sialkot and Faisalabad, these centres represent a substantial leap forward in the enhancement of cricket infrastructure within these cities.
Each High-Performance Centre boasts cutting-edge facilities meticulously designed to enhance the skills and performance of emerging cricketers. Among the standout features are fully-equipped cricket grounds built to the highest standards, offering an optimal setting for players to train and compete in matches.
These centres are inclusive, welcoming players of all ages and genders, fostering a culture of cricketing excellence and inclusivity. With the addition of these two facilities, the PCB now oversees five High-Performance Centres across Pakistan. The existing trio includes the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, the Hanif Mohammad High-Performance Centre in Karachi, and the Inzamam-ul-Haq High-Performance Centre in Multan.
The PCB is poised to initiate a comprehensive array of events and coaching programmes at the newly inaugurated High-Performance Centres, aimed at nurturing and refining the talent pool across the region.
Expressing gratitude towards the Government of Punjab, Nadeem Khan, Director of Domestic Cricket at PCB, remarked, “I would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to the Government of Punjab for entrusting the PCB with two High-Performance centres. These state-of-the-art facilities will significantly elevate the standard of cricket training in Pakistan.”
He further added, “With access to top-notch infrastructure and resources, our players will thrive in an environment conducive to honing their skills and realizing their full potential. The PCB is committed to maximizing the benefits of these centres and fostering the growth of cricket at all levels in the country.”
The inauguration of these High-Performance Centres heralds a new era for cricketing excellence in Punjab, promising a brighter future for the sport and its aspirants in the region.
