Binny praises coaches' course

BANGALORE, SEPT. 12. Roger Binny, former India all-rounder and Asian Cricket Council's development officer, termed the ACC's `high performance course for coaches' as a progressive step for the minnows in Asian cricket.

"The course is something similar to the existing Level One and Level Two coaches' programmes. It basically aims to develop the coaching culture in member Countries of the ACC. It is one step up from their existing levels and these coaches can get back to their countries and spread what they learnt here," Binny said during the course of the `high performance' programme at the National Cricket Academy here on Sunday.

Experts from Cricket Australia and the ACC guide the five-day program that commenced here on Saturday. The programme does help coaches from countries such as Afghanistan and Hong Kong that have an emerging cricket culture.

"The programme helps those countries which have limited exposure to cricket and to be honest, for coaches from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka who have done their Level Three programs, there may not be anything new because it basically operates at a Level Two base. However it is conducted by the ACC and the course has a name and prestige attached to it," said Venkatesh Prasad, who is also attending the program. — Our Sports Reporter
