This partnership brings together two respected institutions with a shared vision: to nurture future cricket stars and raise the standard of youth coaching in Texas and beyond. SKA, the official youth academy of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is globally recognized for its impactful training programs for young athletes. WCI Academy, a leader in high-performance talent development in Central Texas, continues to make its mark by preparing talents for national championships while engaging deeply with the community.

The Prime 22-Yard indoor facility in Leander, founded by Kalyan Jarajapu, anchors this initiative, offering advanced technology and infrastructure for year-round training regardless of weather conditions. Jarajapu has been involved in building state-of-the-art indoor facilities in multiple cities.

Complementing this, the high-class outdoor cricket fields at Williamson County Park in North Austin provide top-tier playing conditions—an ideal environment for skill-building, competitive matches, and community engagement.

Vignesh L, former Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy player and bowling coach, now Head Coach of SKA (TX), highlighted the shared vision. “Our collaboration with WCI Academy reflects our commitment to youth cricket.

This High Performance Center under Super Kings Academy in Austin will serve as a beacon for aspiring cricketers, giving them unparalleled opportunities to train, compete, and thrive.”

Alok Singh, corporate executive, Level-4 Elite Coach, and founder of WCI Academy, echoed the excitement: “We are thrilled to embark on this journey with SKA. Together, we are setting bold new standards in cricket coaching and laying the foundation for a legacy of excellence. This center will not only refine talent but also ignite a lasting passion for the game at higher levels.”

Beyond player development, the initiative will strengthen partnerships with schools, universities, and city and county organizations, embedding cricket into the region’s sporting fabric.

As Austin continues to grow as a diverse and dynamic metropolitan area, this venture positions the city as an emerging powerhouse in international cricket—attracting talents from across the United States and beyond.
