Riyan Parag Selected for National Cricket Academy’s High Performance Monitoring Programme
Guwahati, May 19, 2024: Riyan Parag’s selection for the esteemed National Cricket Academy’s High Performance Monitoring Programme for the forthcoming 2024-25 domestic cricket season has elicited widespread enthusiasm from the cricketing fraternity, particularly from the Assam Cricket Association (ACA). The ACA has commended Parag’s unwavering commitment and diligent efforts, acknowledging them as pivotal factors behind his deserved inclusion in the prestigious programme.
Parag’s recent exploits in domestic cricket, coupled with an impressive showing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), have solidified his standing as one of the most dependable uncapped Indian cricketers. Notably, during the recent IPL season, Parag etched his name into the annals of cricketing history by becoming only the third batsman, alongside the illustrious Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma, to amass over 500 runs while occupying positions 4 or lower in the batting order.
Of particular significance is the fact that Parag achieved this remarkable feat without any prior international experience, placing him in an exclusive cohort of five players to accomplish such a milestone. His selection for the NCA’s High Performance Monitoring Programme serves as a resounding testament to his immense potential and augurs a promising trajectory for the burgeoning cricketer.
In light of his consistent performances and burgeoning talent, Parag’s inclusion in the NCA’s programme not only underscores his individual prowess but also underscores the cricketing fraternity’s recognition of his capability to thrive at the highest echelons of the sport. As he embarks on this next phase of his cricketing journey under the tutelage of the NCA, expectations soar high for Riyan Parag, heralding the dawn of a promising era in Indian cricket.
