Joining a cricket academy is one of the first big steps in a young cricketer’s journey. For many students, this decision is made based on reputation, distance, fees, or suggestions from others. Unfortunately, very few players actually receive proper guidance before choosing an academy. Also Read: Pressure Situations Me Run Kaise Banaye? Mental Training for Batters
When an academy is selected without understanding a player’s age, skill level, mindset, and goals, problems slowly begin to appear. Some students feel the training is too advanced, while others feel they are not being challenged enough. Over time, confusion and self-doubt start affecting confidence.
Another common issue is result-focused environments. Many academies expect immediate performance without considering long-term development. Young players start worrying more about selection and comparison instead of learning and improving. This pressure often leads to loss of confidence and enjoyment in the game.
The biggest problem is that players usually don’t know whether the issue is with them—or with the environment they are in. Without guidance, they either keep struggling silently or keep switching academies, wasting valuable years of development.
This is where the right support system becomes extremely important.
At Career In Cricket (CIC), students are first helped to understand where they actually stand in their cricket journey. Through career counselling from experienced international coaches, players get clarity about their current level, strengths, weaknesses, and realistic expectations.

Based on this understanding, CIC helps students choose the right cricket academy—one that matches their development stage, training needs, and long-term goals. Instead of guesswork, academy selection becomes a planned decision.
CIC also looks at skill-related gaps that may be holding a player back. With elite mentorship and focused guidance, students know exactly what they need to work on, making training more effective and confidence-building.
For many families, confusion also exists around admissions, trials, and opportunities. CIC provides admission assistance so students don’t miss the right chances due to lack of information or poor planning. This reduces stress for both players and parents.
Beyond guidance and mentorship, CIC offers CricSocial, an open platform for aspiring cricketers where students can share achievements, ask questions, and learn from others’ journeys. Being part of a supportive cricket community helps players feel connected and motivated. Also Read: Cricket Academy Join Karne Se Pehle Kya Dekhna Chahiye? Complete Beginner Guide
