Sourav Ganguly is aiming to associate his school with over 100 over of centres by December next year in West Bengal. In addition to that, he will personally oversee the daily progress. One of the biggest advantages of this school is that Ganguly is aiming to benefit over 20000 budding players from this school. Ganguly will himself pick up the coaches who will guide the budding players.
“It is a joyous moment for all of us. Our whole team has worked relentlessly to realise this dream of taking the highest level of cricket coaching to the grassroots. Team PitchVision has been the ideal partner for Sourav Ganguly Foundation. Through this, we promise to take cricket in West Bengal to the next level.” Sourav Ganguly said at the launch fo the event.
Ganguly is not the first cricketer to launch a school as earlier Virender Sehwag also launched his school named Sehwag International school where an equal stress is laid on studies as well as on the sports.
