Of late, the umpiring standards are walking on a piece of thin ice but it seems like the International Cricket Council wants to be on point; doesn’t matter, who and where the mistake was committed. The latest to be the victim of ICC is Sachin Tendulkar, who bowled a no-ball during the net sessions.
Recently, in an attempt to bolster the game across the globe, he tied up with Middlesex in an attempt to help the aspiring cricketers grow. He had a good time in the camp, where he bowled few deliveries to a left-handed batsman in the net sessions.
During the course, Sachin Tendulkar was crossing the front-foot line more often than not. Meanwhile, ICC, who spotted the error, termed it No-ball by adding a picture of the umpire, who was signalling the same.
Children aged 9-14 will get the opportunity:
“The comprehensive training curriculum developed by the professional coaches at Middlesex and the Master himself will help young and budding cricketers with various aspects of cricket, including insights into athletic development, sport psychology, tactical development and technical modifications.
The cricket academy will only train the boys but also got the good preparatory camps for the girls as well. The children aged 9-14 will get the opportunity to stay in the camp, which would certainly help them to attain new heights in their career.

“The academy will provide young girls and boys between the age of 9 and 14 an opportunity to learn from two of the most respected and renowned institutions in world cricket – Sachin Tendulkar and Middlesex Cricket,” read a joint statement.
“With talent identification at the core of the academy, TMGA will also provide opportunities for talented underprivileged children with 100 scholarships available.”
All in all, it is great service from Sachin Tendulkar, who already hanged his boots from all formats of the game. He finished his career with quite a few records to his name.
