The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah on Saturday announced that the new National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru is nearing completion and will be inaugurated soon.

Shah shared a few photos of the academy's new design as well as details on the facilities it would provide to the country's cricket players.

The BCCI secretary took to social media to publish photographs of a pair of cricket grounds and practice pitches, claiming that the new facility will give the finest setting for players to enhance their talents.

Shah revealed that the facility would include 45 practice pitches, indoor cricket pitches, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and cutting-edge amenities for training, recovery, and sports science. He further stated that such facilities will allow current and future cricketers to improve their skills in the greatest possible environment.

“Very excited to announce that the @BCCI’s new National Cricket Academy (NCA) is almost complete and will be opening shortly in Bengaluru. The new NCA will feature three world-class playing grounds, 45 practice pitches, indoor cricket pitches, Olympic-size swimming pool and state-of-the-art training, recovery and sports science facilities. This initiative will help our nation’s current and future cricketers develop their skills in the best possible environment!” Jay Shah wrote on ‘X’.

The facility will also include cutting-edge training, recuperation, and sports science capabilities to help athletes stay in peak physical condition and recover quickly from injuries. The incorporation of advanced sports science tools demonstrates the BCCI's commitment to providing a holistic development environment for cricketers.

Last year, Jay Shah had posted photos of the progress at the new NCA facility, which was in full swing with site clearance work beginning.
