Yadav becomes ICC Academy’s certified coach

 

 

 

A FORMER national-level junior cricketer Pradeepkumar Yadav has achieved another feat in his coaching career after successfully securing his certification from International Cricket Council Academy (ICCA) that is based in Dubai. With new qualification under his belt, Yadav has started ‘Just Cricket — A Specialised Academy’ in Kalamna. Yadav has good experience in training junior cricketers.

 

Despite being an engineer, he followed his passion for cricket and established himself as a coach in the last decade. Yadav has worked under former India stumper Sulakshan Kulkarni at the latter’s academy in Nagpur. Earlier, he honed his skills as a coach under Prashant Bambal at Dr Ambedkar College Sports Academy. Later, he joined NCA and made their Under-13 team champions (a couple of years ago). He also brought laurels to the National Academy of Direct Taxes by making them two-time champions under his coaching. At the Just Cricket facility, Yadav, who represented Nagpur University twice, is dealing with players’ special needs. The think tank of Just Cricket launched the centre with the motive of providing junior cricketers with personalised coaching solutions.
