The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have always enjoyed a special connection with Australia, a relationship fostered through iconic players like Michael Hussey, Matthew Hayden, and Shane Watson. This bond is set to deepen with the launch of the Super Kings Academy in Sydney.
This new academy will be the third international location for the Super Kings Academy, following the successful establishment of centers in Dallas, USA, and Reading, UK, in addition to their numerous locations in India.
The Super Kings Academy in Sydney will be situated at Cricket Central, 161 Silverwater Road, Sydney Olympic Park. The facility will offer state-of-the-art training amenities for both outdoor and indoor cricket throughout the year. Coaching for boys and girls is set to commence in September.
KS Viswanathan, CEO of Chennai Super Kings, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are delighted to extend our special journey with Australia, which began with the inception of the IPL in 2008. Australia is a champion country with a strong sporting culture and rich cricketing legacy. The Super Kings Academy will tap into and help groom cricketers, both boys and girls, adding to the already strong system in the country.”
“Geographical boundaries are shrinking rapidly in cricket over the last few years. With our presence in India, the USA, the UK, and now Australia, we have the opportunity to develop the next generation of cricketers through our world-class facilities, strong coaching curriculum, exchange programs, and more.”
Anand Karuppiah, Director of Echelon Sports Management, the franchise partner of Super Kings Academy in Sydney, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled to collaborate and bring the Super Kings Academy to Australia. Cricket is a common thread between India and Australia. Sydney is a city with a rich cricketing history and a cricket-loving multicultural society. We aim to assist young talents in fulfilling their aspirations and dreams through the academy in Sydney.”
“The upcoming cricketers from this region will benefit from access to Super Kings coaching methodologies and potential exchange opportunities with other Super Kings Academy centers in India, the UK, and the USA.”
