Designed as a high-performance hub for boys and girls across all age groups, the academy combines Don's two decades of elite coaching experience with Smriti's contemporary insights from the international arena. Don's wife, a former England cricketer, also brings a wealth of experience and empathy to the mentoring process, making this academy a complete ecosystem for young talent.

At the press conference, he spoke as follows: Smriti Mandhana pondered over the individual and occupational principles underpinning this distinctive and worldwide project: "Don and his family have consistently made me feel as though I am part of their family." City Cricket Academy by Smriti Mandhana It’s not merely a training center—it’s a space where young cricketers are motivated to aim high, reflect profoundly, and develop into well-rounded individuals. Don and his spouse genuinely grasp the aspirations of aspiring athletes and the demands of top-tier cricket. To me, this represents an authentic effort to repay the sport that has bestowed so much upon me.”

Coach Don Bhagawati , delighted to witness the academy coming together Dubai , commended Smriti for her exceptional and crucial involvement: “Smriti embodies unparalleled devotion and honesty in cricket. It’s inspiring to witness that despite competing at the pinnacle of the sport, she remains committed to giving back. This could very likely be among the initial instances where a worldwide sports figure has taken up a grassroots leadership position during their active career, particularly considering it might have been around the time of the earliest recorded women's matches since the 1700s. I am immensely proud of her accomplishments, and I think highly of her efforts.” City Cricket Academy will enhance the gameplay for generations to follow.

The academy aims to provide structured coaching programs, mentorship from current and former players, and international exposure through exchange programs with partner academies in the UK and India.
