Due to its massive popularity, we are getting requests from foreign countries and gulf nations to open our cricket academy in their countries.

According to Mr. Harmeet Vasdev, Managing Director, CAP, “It’s encouraging to see that the goal of Pathan brothers, to provide talented players with a proper platform and the support to help them develop into a complete player, is being fulfilled. CAP is continuously producing talented players who are playing at the district and state levels representing their team. In the recent past, many of our players have gone on to play in Ranji Trophy, C K Nayudu Trophy, Cooch Behar Trophy and many more such tournaments. A total of more than 90 players from our various centres are realizing their dream. All these numbers are a testament to our success as a cricket academy.”

That’s why at CAP, we have modern cricketing technologies like PitchVision and Stancebeam, which tracks students’ performance in real-time via a cutting-edge technology program. These technologies close the gap between the Pathan brothers, coaches and the students.”

Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP) plans to expand across India in another 15+ cities, including Srinagar, Gulbarga, Salem, Berhampur, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Coimbatore, Visakhapatnam, Palghar and Amritsar by the end of 2022.
