Northamptonshire County Cricket Club are delighted to be beginning a partnership with CricFitSport (CFS), a leading cricket performance and developmental cricket education firm.
Founded in 2018, CFS provides state-of-the-art equipment, training environments, and a holistic focus on physical and mental well-being, with the aim to develop and nurture talent.
This collaboration is designed to foster cricket development, support counties in their player development programs, and create opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels.
“This partnership with NCCC is a significant step towards our goal of democratizing access to cricket development,” said Kalyan Kumar, Patron at CFS.
“We believe that every aspiring cricketer deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and this collaboration will help us create more pathways for talent to emerge.”
The first initiative from this partnership, “Pinnacle Pro” is set to launch in March 2025.
This program will provide a platform for senior age group players, who are not currently contracted to a County, to showcase their skills and compete at a high level. Pinnacle Pro aims to provide an additional entry point into the professional game, giving talented players a second chance to pursue their cricketing dreams.
“We are thrilled to partner with CricFitSport,” Northamptonshire CEO, Ray Payne said.
“Their expertise in player development and their commitment to innovation align perfectly with our vision for the future of cricket. We look forward to working together to create a thriving cricket ecosystem.”
“Pinnacle Pro is a game-changer for aspiring professional cricketers,” added Ash, Founder CFS. “It addresses a critical gap in the current system and provides a much-needed opportunity for players to demonstrate their abilities. We are confident that this program will uncover some hidden gems and contribute to the growth of professional cricket.”
The partnership between CricFitSport and NCCC marks a significant investment in the future of cricket and promises to create exciting new opportunities for players and fans alike.
