Shekhar Naik needs no introduction. This blind cricketer has made his mark in Indian sports through his remarkable achievements. He was the former captain of the Indian blind cricket team and has brought home many laurels for the country. Naik is now stepping into a new venture. He has kick-started the Shekhar Naik Foundation, a sports academy exclusively for aspiring blind cricketers! Naik claims that his new academy is the first of its kind in India.
This sports academy was inaugurated on 11 November, and is located at Shimoga in Karnataka. It was inaugurated by Ashok Naik who is the MLA of Shimoga. Shekhar Naik Foundation already has 25 youngsters enrolled for training. There are 15 school students and 10 adults of different age groups who are now part of the venture. All of them belong to the southern part of Karnataka. Government apathy and lack of funds are still roadblocks for blind cricketers. Naik hopes to make a difference to that. Are you interested to join this venture? Naik is providing free coaching sessions here with the support of his sponsors. He claims that aspirants do not have to spend a single penny for being a part of this academy!
