On Monday Raina met Nitishwar Kumar, principal secretary to Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, to discuss the initiative to set up sports academies to train young cricketers from Jammu and Kashmir.
Last month on the inauguration of Jammu and Kashmir Police Women’s 2020 Cricket Tournament at Anantnag, Raina had said there is “so much more in store” for the young players in Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier Raina had requested Manoj Sinha to set up a Cricket Academy in Jammu and Kashmir. He had also agreed to set up 10 schools, five each in Kashmir and Jammu divisions, to give professional cricket training to local youth.
