DCA is like a boon to cricket. Highest and toughest standard of training including fitness to the young and budding players has been a unique proposition of the academy. ‘Fitness first’ is the way to go at DCA. The players are trained rigorously initially for a first two or three months and only when the boys are shaped to be moulded, they are allowed to practice in the nets.

The academy has wonderful facilities, which includes very good practice wickets and also flood lights when required. The academy has earned a lot of name in Mumbai. Let’s hope that the academy produces great players in future and makes Mumbai proud.
