CASH-Kerala programme oversees the development and nurturing of talent in an atmosphere conducive to growth. The plans that KCA had drawn up for this initiative much earlier, only came into fruition on June 01st 2009, when the Kerala Cricket Academy opened its doors simultaneously at both the KCA Headquarters, Thiruvananthapuram and at Sacred Heart School, Ernakulam. Two hostels were also started at St Ephraim’s School, Mannanam and St Antony’s School, Mutholi.
The selection process for admission to these academies and hostels was painstakingly done. From the large number of hopefuls who turned up at the selection trials, only the best and most talented of the youngsters made the cut. They were put through the grind by a panel of experienced coaches and veteran players and the final batch of fifty-six youngsters were selected to undergo training at CASH–Kerala, an acronym for Cricket Academies and Sports Hostels.
Kerala cricket association is extremely happy to announce the success of CASH KERALA
(Cricket Academies and Sports Hostels) a prestigious project to nurture the young CRICKET talents between the age group of 12- 14, We had received tremendous response from the trainees and the parents.
We had started two cricket academies (Ernakulam and Trivandrum) and two sports hostels (mannanam , Mutholi) last season. The success of the academies encouraged us to go further with the project in a large
scale. This year we are starting Five more academies(North, South and Central) and academies in all the districts.
