The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had recently announced that the state will start to see increasing encouragement in the field of sports and recreational activities. Now, he has orchestrated a clever move and has bought global cricketing icon Chennai Super Kings involved in his project.
The Jagan-led government has closed talks with CSK franchise and the stage is now prepared for substantial progress in improvement of sports infrastructure in AP.
CSK has agreed to set up 4 cricket camps in Andhra Pradesh. These camps will be set up in key clusters like Tirupati, Kadapa, Mangalagiri, and Vizag. CSK's training and performance analysts will be taking part in these camps and help nurture the sporting talent pool in Andhra Pradesh.
The coming together of a sporting icon like CSK and the AP government should combine exceptionally for these camps. The results will be reaped in few years from now and this will go down as a clever stroke from Jagan.
Jagan now aims to have AP's representation in the IPL and if that happens, the sate could see an image makeover. It is known how cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Chennai have largely been benefited through sporting infrastructures. The same could be happening with AP sooner than later.
