Our Story
A Journey of Excellence
How Don Bosco Cricket Academy became a premier destination for cricket development
Established in 2008, Don Bosco Cricket Academy was founded with a simple yet ambitious vision: to create a nurturing environment where young cricketers could develop their skills while building character and discipline.
Under the expert guidance of Benjamin Thomas, an ex-Ranji player and international county cricketer with over 15 years of coaching experience across India, England, and Australia, the academy has grown from a small local initiative to one of Hyderabad's most respected cricket training institutions.
Benjamin's unique international playing and coaching experience brings world-class standards to our academy. Having played Ranji Trophy cricket in India, Minor County cricket in England, and County cricket in Australia, he combines the best techniques and methodologies from three cricketing powerhouses.
Our journey has been marked by numerous achievements - from producing Ranji players to winning multiple championships in prestigious tournaments like the Pepsi Cup and HCA League. But our greatest pride lies in the hundreds of young cricketers who have passed through our doors, carrying with them not just improved cricket skills, but also values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
Today, Don Bosco Cricket Academy continues to evolve, incorporating modern training methodologies while staying true to our core values. We're committed to providing our students with not just excellent cricket education, but also opportunities for international exposure through our trips to Dubai and Australia.
