JOIN USFormer India cricketers Venkatesh Prasad and Sujith Somasundar have joined hands to launch a cricket academy -- Starting Line Sports -- which will begin from July 1st at Indiranagar I Stage.
The initiative aims to focus on coaching and developing youth at the grass root as well as elite level and caters to trainees aged between six and 21 years.

We wish to bridge that gap by providing the best of infrastructure along with high performance coaching methodologies to the whole lot of aspiring cricketers,” said Prasad.
Somasundar, besides being a certified cricket coach, is also a certified Mental Toughness/Life Coach.
