Kudos to Sarawak Cricket Association (SCA) who had joined forces with our Ministry of Youth and Sports (MYSS) and Sarawak Sport Corporation in the establishment of of a High-Performance Cricket Centre (HPC) at Sarawak Sport Complex in Petra Jaya.
The new facility will have 5 artificial practice wickets fields with synthetic surfaced practice area including 25-meter bowler’s run-ups and a 6.m high safety netting surrounding the section. Such features are comparable to other world-class training facilities in cricket test nations such as Australia & New Zealand. Each lane is also retractable and will enable players to have a double net with more space, or even an open net using the entire area – this can then utilize fielders as well in more match-like conditions.
I went for viist to the HPC recently and is optimistic the new facility will help to develop more local talents and excel in the sport of cricket at National Level. The centre is also an example of our government's commitment to continuously assist sports associations to boost their achievement levels.
The Cricket HPC is part of MYSS planned high-performance sports center strategy that is aimed to strengthen various sports infrastructures that can make Sarawak a sports powerhouse in Malaysia. I am confident with the availability of many high-performance sports centers in Sarawa will enable us to nurture and produce world class athletes in the near future.
We give our thumbs up to SCA for working closely with the Malaysia Cricket Association (MCA) to implement the Cricket Adiwira program in various primary schools in Sarawak together with the support from Ministry of Education. At the same time, the Sarawak cricket head coach Sri Lankan Pramuka Sidesh is confident that with the availability of improved training facilities we have back home will enable our local athletes to be well prepared when participating in the Malaysia Games (Sukma) 2022.
