St. Xavier's Cricket Academy

St. Xavier’s Cricket Academy was launched in November 2025 in Purvanchal with a clear vision, to bring high-quality cricket training to an area where such opportunities did not exist before.

With state-of-the-art facilities and experienced, competent coaching, the academy is creating an environment that was once only available in metro cities. These world-class resources are now accessible to young players in the region, many of whom had the talent but lacked the platform to showcase it.

The academy is run and managed by Mr. Aniket Upadhyay (Head Coach, VYRCA) and his brother Mr. Rahul Upadhyay, both locals of the area who have always dreamed of making this vision a reality. Their deep connection to the region and passion for cricket drives the academy’s mission forward.

By introducing these facilities, we are helping uncover and develop players who were previously overlooked, giving them the guidance and exposure they need to grow.

The academy is committed to improving the cricketing scene in Uttar Pradesh, turning dreams into reality for young cricketers who once only hoped for such opportunities.
