Jwala Gutta: We didn’t start the Academy only for badminton, it’s a centre for excellence
The HinduOne of India’s finest ever women’s doubles badminton players, G. Jwala, who started the Jwala Gutta Academy of Excellence at the Sujatha School near here about three years ago, has decided to branch out to different sporting disciplines with women’s cricket being the first major initiative in this regard. It is a centre for excellence where we strive to groom young talent in different age groups and nurture them into performing champions,” Jwala said after the Academy formally launched a women’s cricket development programme here on Monday. “Yes, given the very encouraging response to badminton with the State Governments of Punjab and Tamil Nadu also sending big squads of badminton players for a long training programme at our Academy, we are hopeful of women’s cricket getting a major fillip,” she said. Detailing the actual women’s cricket programme, Jwala said that the registrations would be open straight away and full-fledged year-long sessions coinciding with the Academic years would commence from March-April, Jwala said.
