Woxsen University partners with former Indian cricketer MSK Prasad for sports education, talent development

NEW DELHI: The Woxsen University Hyderabad partners with retired Indian cricketer and former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad to mark a development in sports education. During the MSK Prasad’s visit to the university, he explored the Woxsen Sports Academy infrastructure.

An agreement was signed between Woxsen University and MSK Prasad’s International Cricket Academy and SixS Sports.

The collaboration aims to offer aspiring cricket players structured training, professional coaching, and access to international-standard facilities.

“With Woxsen’s top-tier sports ecosystem, MSK Prasad’s and SixS Sports’s expertise this initiative will elevate grassroots cricket development and offer students opportunities to shine nationally and internationally,” the Woxsen University statement said.

Speaking on the occasion, MSK Prasad highlighted the role of structured training in shaping future cricketing stars “The IPL started with TV rights worth ₹7,000 crore for ten years and has now expanded to ₹50,000 crore for just five years. This growth reflects the commitment of the BCCI and the IPL council to building a brand that players aspire to be a part of. University games played a crucial role in identifying and nurturing talent like Gavasker and Ravi Shastri. From past generations to today’s cricketing landscape, university-level leagues like the Viji Trophy has carved excellent players.”

He added further adds: “Woxsen University should be proud of making such an unbelievable sports facility with global standards and we must utilise it to nurture talent in the right way.”

The partnership will equip them with the skills and exposure needed to excel in the professional cricket.
