Jhajjar. Players are working hard at the Nehru College Cricket Stadium located on Bahadurgarh Road in the city and trying to make their mark at the national level. Players of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Cricket Academy, run by the Sports Department, come here to practice. Many players who practice here have made their mark at the national level as well.
Players have played in different competitions in the country after taking coaching from the academy. Coach Naveen Saini has been training players here for 10 years. The players preparing from here have also played in Irani Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Ranji Trophy, Under-23 Haryana, Under-19 Haryana, National School Games. Every day around 50 players come to this cricket stadium to prepare. Girls also come here to practice. Every kind of facility is available for the players coming here for preparation. Players from far away villages of the district also come here to practice. There are 10 nets in the stadium, in which players practice. Out of these, six nets are made of cement and four nets are of clay. During practice, coach Naveen Saini remains present with the players and keeps telling the players about their mistakes. The stadium also has a large ground, which has one pitch. Two to three matches a week are also organized for the players who come here to practice. The entire ground is covered with grass, which makes it convenient for the players to play.

I have been giving coaching here for the last ten years. The players practicing here have made their mark at the national level as well as in big trophies played in different states and the country. The players here have also played in Under-23, Under-19 and School Nationals. For the last one year, girls also come here to practice. Full care is taken to ensure that no player faces any problem. At the same time, matches are also organized for the players here with outside teams.
