New Delhi, May 7th 2013: Following an intensive week of cricketing talent at the Coca-Cola Cricket Cup U16 Coaching Camp, the final Coca-Cola XI squad was announced for the upcoming Sri Lanka series.
Of the 24 young cricketers who were a part of the coaching camp, the best 15 were picked up for the final squad. The Coca-Cola XI will play against the Sri Lankan National Under-16 team in three match series, scheduled in Sri Lanka from May 27 to June 3, 2013.
The team will be lead by Nitin Tanwar from New Delhi, thanks to an impressive display of cricket and leadership skills during the Inter State Tournament and the training camp.
The Coca-Cola XI team – Captain Nitin Tanwar, Shivam Chauhan, Md Kaif Ahmed, Suraj Rai, Vikas Dixit, Anees Ali, Prashant Vashisth (Salwan Boys High School, New Delhi), Mehboob Sheikh, Haashir Dafedar and Usman Gani (Anjuman I-Islam Allana Eng. School, Mumbai), Rang Rajan Divedi, Anupam Kumar, Amar Choudhary (CAV Inter College, Allahabad, UP), Daryl Ferrario (Don Bosco Matriculation HSS, TN), Pranjal Puri (Christian Eminent, MP).
The selected players were coached on various aspects of the game and received invaluable tips in areas such as bowling variations, playing accurately on the back and front foot, essentials of wicket keeping, the best strategy to execute in all 3 formats of the game, directive match planning, maintaining fitness, and body recovery methods through swimming.
Three players who perform exceedingly well during the series will meet the criteria to travel to the United Kingdom in the month of August to further carve a bright cricketing future for themselves. Procam International will nurture these boys both on and off the field, enabling them to make the best use of their talent and be given opportunities to succeed in the sport of cricket. Players from the previous edition who were provided with an opportunity to hone their skills in the UK were Sarfaraz Khan from Mumbai, Nitin Tanwar from New Delhi and Akshay Brahmbhatt from Baroda.
The coaching clinic was conducted by renowned cricketers and coaches that included Martin Gleeson (Technical Adviser, Cricket India Academy), Dr. Sanjay Bhardwaj (Level III coach, BCCI), Saba Karim (Former Indian Cricketer), Iqbal Thakur (Former Ranji Player, Western Railway) and Abhishek Shekhawat.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Deepak Jolly, VP Public Affairs & Communications Coca-Cola India and SWA said, “On behalf of Coca-Cola India, I would like to congratulate the 15 talented players on being selected as the official Coca-Cola XI team. These young talented players underwent a grueling coaching camp and are now primed to play a three-match series against the Sri Lankan National Under-16 team. I would also like to personally thank their mentors Saba Karim, Martin Gleeson, and Sanjay Bhardwaj who have left no stone unturned in nurturing their cricketing skills.
