Not quite the World Cup, but this is where it all begins in India 🇮🇳. Today at Siri Fort, Delhi, fifty junior cricketers are practicing in 47-degree heat, aiming to represent India and play in the IPL one day. They know that past players from the Madan Lal Cricket Academy, like Simarjeet Singh, are now playing IPL and first-class cricket.

In Australia, junior cricketers wouldn't be training in such severe heat, but the reality is these boys will soon be playing matches in similar conditions. Adapting to all weather conditions is essential for Indian and Australian coaches wishing to work in the subcontinent. The extreme heat may not be comfortable, but it's part of the journey for these aspiring cricketers and coaches. 🏏☀️
