Sydney: One of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has announced the opening of its third international Super Kings Academy in Sydney, Australia.

CSK has additional international locations in Dallas, USA, and the UK.

The cutting-edge facility, which is situated at Cricket Central, 161 Silverwater Road, Sydney Olympic Park, will provide year-round indoor and outdoor training facilities. In September, boys’ and girls’ cricket coaching is slated to commence.

The CEO of CSK, KS Viswanathan, expressed his excitement for the new endeavour, adding, “We are happy to extend our special journey with Australia, which began with the inception of 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.”

Viswanathan also highlighted the increasing globalisation of cricket and the opportunities it presents. “Geographical boundaries are shrinking rapidly in cricket over the last few years. With presence in India, USA, UK and now Australia, we have the opportunity to develop the next generation of cricketers through our world-class facilities, strong coaching curriculum, exchange programmes, and more,” he added.
