SACA: The growing success of Asian talent factory is a lesson for Counties | AI News Digest
The South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA) is making significant strides in promoting Asian talent in cricket, with several players securing professional contracts. This season, four players earned short-term county deals, and one, Amrit Basra, has secured a permanent position. Founded to address the underrepresentation of South Asians in professional cricket, SACA has expanded its reach and influence, providing elite coaching and match opportunities. The academy's success is attributed to changing perceptions within county cricket, which now recognizes the potential of South Asian players. With 18 graduates securing professional contracts, SACA aims to eventually render itself obsolete by fostering inclusivity in the sport.
