United States Youth Cricket Association 2nd Vice-President Jatin Patel (USA Center for Excellence in Cricket Founder & Member of USYCA & ACF joint committee for the youth cricket development) who recently visited Antigua with cricket education exploration explained the basic
technique of cricket to the coaches. After initial cricket introduction, Jatin Patel explained how to properly stand at the crease, hold (grip) the bat, bowling action, catching, throwing, removing bails if the batsman is out of crease, running between the wickets etc.\n<\/p>\n
The basics were later translated into action by playing the game. Initially the players were seen getting hit wickets. Jatin Patel, ICC Certified and Cricket Australia Accredited coach explained the reasons and suggested corrective measures. As the session progressed, the coaches started understanding the concept of the game and were enjoying batting, bowling and fielding as the game itself teaches them from the errors they make and doing so they learn important rules of the game at the right time.<\/p>\n
Jatin Patel, pioneer in introducing cricket training and Cricket Study Guide for Physical Education teachers in Indiana, displayed the wooden
bats and leather balls and helmet and many other cricket equipment used in international games The coaches had the feel of the bats,
leather balls, pads, helmet etc. where they can sense real game challenges ahead.<\/p>\n
In the question-answer session, replying to a question whether cricket can be played during rain, Jatin Patel\u2019s answer was in the negative.
\u201cLike tennis cannot be played in rain, so is the case of cricket,\u201d the renowned coach said.
<\/p>\n
To another question, he said the ball is changed during a match only it goes out of shape and does not pass through \u2018the ring.\u201d \u201cHowever, a
new ball is not given it is an advantage to the bowlers. The umpires select a used ball.\u201d
<\/p>\n
Jatin Patel disclosed that cricket has been played in USA since 1709, 1st game played in USA during 1844 etc. and keep continue as cricket
is not American sport. That\u2019s going to change soon in Indiana and our coaches\/players and teachers are modifying this game to fit with many
other North American sports style\/demand\/ environment etc. \u201c After we played historic T10 scrimmage game on May 16 here in Indianapolis we
continue to break historical records to lead USA cricket History.\u201d<\/p>\n
Explaining importance of training the physical education coaches, Jatin Patel said \u201cMy view is that trained lecturers and professors at
the University will teach cricket to many Undergraduate students with PE major for many years to come. In future those PE teachers may be
working at one or more schools but cricket will go with them and expected to help to grow sport cricket. In simple terms, as we are
establishing most productive scheme to explore cricket with the concept of Lecturer(s) & Instructor(s) will train PE teachers and they
will train many students every year for many year at one or more schools during their working life span.
<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s simplest, fastest and best way to educate more people in short time for the sport cricket in North America. This is just one step
ahead of our education process as we started teacher\u2019s education two years back and now training them in advance before they even start
their real career as a PE Teachers,\u201d said Jatin Patel, Inaugural Volunteer Award recipient for the American Cricket Federation.<\/p>\n
Impressed with the learning of basics of cricket, Dr. Brian Culp said \u201cCricket is wonderful. I have seen it few times on TV. Today was a
good opportunity for student to see how to learn skills. It was a pretty good job. \u201c<\/p>\n
Regarding the future of this game, he said \u201ca lot of international people come to the United States and it will be a big success one
day.\u201d<\/p>\n
