    Kolkata Knight Riders launch academy to nurture talent
  • Two-time champions of the Indian Premier League- Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have launched an academy to nurture young players.

    The idea is to connect with cricketers beyond the IPL season and develop them into world-class talent.

    KKR's young guns are expected to benefit from this move.

    Here is more on the same.

    Nayar believes that youngsters should not just come to train during IPL, play a few games and go away.

    KKR want to understand these players in and out and contribute in their overall growth.

    Beyond IPL, this academy will also help players in their domestic stints.
