Sachin Tendulkar's Cricket Academy Set to Open in Ahmedabad on April 10
In a significant development for cricket enthusiasts, a new Centre of Excellence Cricket Academy backed by Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is scheduled to open in Ahmedabad on April 10, 2026. This initiative promises to provide top-tier training facilities and mentorship from former Indian cricketers for aspiring players aged five and above.
Academy Details and Launch Timeline
The SRT10 Altevol Centre of Excellence Cricket Academy, which was initially planned for launch last year, has overcome delays and is now poised to commence operations. The training module will focus on key areas such as technique, fitness, and structured growth pathways, ensuring a comprehensive development program for young talents.
Located at Shankus Farm near Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Road in Ahmedabad, the campus boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure. This includes professional cricket nets, an in-house match-ready ground, a high-performance gymnasium, and a running track, all designed to foster excellence in the sport.
Partnerships and Credibility
The academy is a collaboration between the SRT10 Global Academy, Altevol Sports Academy, and the Shankus Group. Altevol Sports Academy has been contributing to Indian tennis since 2018 and has a partnership with Germany's Alexander Waske Tennis University, adding a multi-sport perspective to the venture. This aligns seamlessly with SRT10's focus on excellence and values-driven development, as highlighted in a recent press release.
The flagship SRT10 Global Academy is already operational at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, setting a precedent for high standards in cricket training.
Mentorship and Coaching Standards
A contingent of former first-class and Team India cricketers will serve as mentors, providing invaluable guidance to young aspirants. Coaches are handpicked and trained under the SRT10 methodology, ensuring consistency with international training standards. The program is led by Dr. Atul Gaikwad, the Global Head Coach of SRT10 Global Academy, further enhancing its credibility and effectiveness.
This academy aims to nurture the next generation of cricket stars by combining world-class facilities with expert mentorship, making it a premier destination for cricket training in India.
