Sehwag Cricket Academy’s Cricket League for Children

Junior Pitch, an initiative of Sehwag Cricket Academy of Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, is a weekend cricket league for children below the age of 14 years.

This league was conceptualised in 2013 to give an opportunity to the kids who are passionate about the sport but have not got a chance to showcase their talent.

The league, now in its 4th year, allows children to play friendly matches and develop as team players.
