Zubi Cricket Academy Bustles With Fitness Activities

Hyderabad-based Zubi Cricket Academy is one of the very few cricket academies that have an unconventional penchant for fitness. The academy, though specializing in the sport of Cricket, has time and again shattered stereotypes to engage young participants in a rather unconventional fitness activity for a cricket academy. From Face Yoga sessions by Mansi Gulati to sprints, jogging to high jumps, and a slew of other exercises by internationally certified fitness expert Ali Mohammed, the academy is the  place to be in Summers, particularly.

Recently, Zubi Cricket Academy became the first cricket academy in India to partner with Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS) for the sixth edition of its annual National Sports Fest titled ARENA 2018 – one of the biggest sports fest in the country. This year, ARENA 2018 is an Inter Bits tournament ­- a quadrennial event participated by players from all BITS campuses including Hyderabad, Pilani, Goa and Dubai.

Zubi served as the title sponsor of the Cricket event. Nearly 400 national colleges participated in different sports including Cricket, Football, hockey, Tennis, Table Tennis, Throw Ball, Squash, Snooker, Pool, Power Lifting, Kabaddi, Duathlon, Chess, Carom, Body Building, Basketball, Badminton and Athletics.

The academy was previously visited by the England Cricket Team who soaked the participants in deep cricketing lessons and essential field tips to young cricket fanatics.

Mr. Faiyaz Ahmed, Secretary of Zubi Cricket Academy says “There are many firsts to Zubi Cricket Academy. We have had an exciting number of sessions that are beyond Cricket, but help the sport and the player. The idea is to keep the sport scientifically perfect and casually exciting at the same time.”

Founded in 2011, Zubi Cricket Academy has regularly outperformed itself by incorporating industry’s best in the form of distinct workshops of international stature. The recently conducted cricket specific training workshop by international fitness expert Ali Mohammed, Face Yoga for Cricketers workshop by USA-certified international yoga trainer, dietitian and former Mrs Asia International Ms. Mansi Gulati, and the visit of England Cricket Players to the academy grounds in the past are hard to miss.

The academy also conducted an official session with Cricket South Africa’s PitchVision session in its annual summer camp this year.
