The Story in Brief
Senior cricket writer Vedam Jaishankar’s 75-page book, Developing Champions in Cricket, was released at the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association premises in Bengaluru on Thursday. The book covers a young player’s journey, from selecting equipment to learning batting, bowling and fielding.
Jaishankar said the guide also includes a chapter for coaches on player development and making training enjoyable. Former India cricketer and administrator Brijesh Patel called it a useful guide for children, parents and coaches facing an overload of information about specialisation, equipment and coaching choices. The book is an initiative of the Brijesh Patel Cricket Academy, Deccan Herald reports.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that another cricket book will turn children into champions, or that young players simply need better gear and coaching. The book’s stated focus is narrower and more useful: helping children, parents and coaches make sensible choices and learn the basics. Its value will depend less on the launch than on whether readers find practical guidance they can use. The clearest test is whether its 75 pages become a trusted reference beyond the academy.
