A central cricket academy will be constructed in Pokhara from a 19.5 million dollars fund set aside by the International Cricket Council (ICC) Saturday for the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), AFP reported from Islamabad.
The ACC will receive 19.5 million dollars in two instalments from the ICC. “A central academy will be established in Nepal along with regional academies in Malaysia and United Arab Emirates.
“The central academy will be state-of-art with professional staffing for future needs,” said ACC secretary Zakir Hussein Syeda. The investment will help popularize cricket in Nepal and Asia.
