BCCI Chairman 2026 Backs Massive Push as BCCI Indoor Cricket Academies Launched Across North-East

In a major infrastructure boost under the vision of the BCCI chairman 2026, six state-of-the-art BCCI Indoor Cricket Academies have been inaugurated across North-East India, marking a decisive step toward decentralising cricket development. The indoor cricket centre network, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to create a high-performance ecosystem and unlock grassroots talent in the region.

Developed by the Board of Control for Cricketin India, these academies are strategically located across six states, ensuring access to modern facilities for aspiring cricketers who previously lacked professional infrastructure

The newly launched indoor cricket centre facilities are located in Rangpo (Sikkim), Doimukh (Arunachal Pradesh), Imphal (Manipur), Madankurklang (Meghalaya), Aizawl (Mizoram), and Dimapur (Nagaland).

This network of BCCI Indoor Cricket Academies is designed to provide year-round training regardless of weather conditions, integrating coaching, infrastructure, and performance pathways into one unified system. The move also ensures that players from the North-East no longer need to relocate to traditional hubs for elite training.

This is not just an infrastructure rollout, it’s a strategic reset. Sportscape feels that the BCCI chairman 2026 vision signals a move away from metro-centric development toward a truly national talent ecosystem.

If sustained, these indoor cricket centre investments could fundamentally reshape Indian cricket’s talent map, with the North-East emerging as a new production hub for elite cricketers.
