TheAssam Cricket Association(ACA) is concentrating on developing at the grassroots rather than merely hosting international matches as showpiece events, its officials said.
It is also ensuring transparency in all its financial dealings after accusations of monetary misappropriation against the apex cricketing body in the state under its former regime, they added.
Addressing a press conference at the end of its General Body Meeting here, ACA presidentRomen Duttasaid, “We have taken a number of decisions to boost cricket infrastructure as well as increase our number of affiliations.”
The constitution for the State Cricket Academy was also adopted and a committee, headed by former player Rajinder Singh, formed to take it forward, he said.
The academy will look after the professional training needs of cricketers as well as professionals associated with the sport in the state.
