It was a matter of pride for Punjab and especially for Amritsar that the latest youth icon Abhishek Sharma, who belongs to Amritsar and has not been trained by any expensive academy rather, he has been trained at Amandeep Cricket Academy, Sultanwind Canal Road, Taran Wala Pull, Amritsar.
This information was shared by Dr. Shahbaaz Singh, Director, Amandeep Cricket Academy at a press conference held during a special facilitation function.
He said, “Academy is proud as it has put its full hearted efforts in carving the gem, which has put Asia Cup in the lap of India and brightened the name of Country, State and Amritsar all over the world.” Abhishek Sharma was also declared Man of the Match during final match by bagging four wickets.

At this event, Dr. Avtar Singh, Chief Orthopeadic Surgeon, Amandeep Hospital, Dr. Amandeep Kaur, MD, his coach, Harwinder Singh, Munish Sharma, Lovely Arora and Kamal Chaudhary among others were present. Speaking on this event, Abhishek said that it is dream of every cricketer to play for the nation but as he is born in Amritsar, where sports facilities, especially cricket coaching are not at par with the national level, he never thought that he could be a part of the national cricket team.
This is all due to ACA and his coach, Harwinder Singh that his dream turned into reality and he not just only played for the country but also represented the country as a captain of the winning team. His coach, Harwinder Singh said that he is feeling very proud on this moment as his trainee Abhishek has achieved a remarkable success and brightened his own name as well as his coach’s name all over the world.
