Dubai is currently experiencing a shocking development as the cricket academy endorsed by renowned cricketer Rohit Sharma has abruptly shut down in the middle of its season. The academy, known as Grasport and CricKingdom, was launched in September 2024 with high expectations of providing elite training for aspiring young cricketers. However, only a few months into operation, the academy closed its doors without any prior notification, leaving parents and staff members in distress, especially those who remain unpaid.
The unexpected shutdown has left many families struggling to find answers and hold the academy management accountable. Parents, who had invested significant time and financial resources into their children’s cricket development, now face uncertainty regarding their children’s future in the sport.
Concerns Raised by the Closure
- Viability and management of sports academies in Dubai, particularly those associated with prominent sports figures.
- Frustration and demands for explanations expressed by parents and staff on social media and local discussion forums.
- The urgent need for transparency and accountability in sports training institutions throughout the UAE.
This incident serves as a critical reminder of the challenges facing sports academies and stresses the importance of reliable governance to protect the interests of young athletes and their families.
