Ajay Ratra achieves rare feat, clears country’s highest BCCI level 3 coaching

Hardwork yields success! Ajay Ratra clears BCCI level 3 coaching level - country's highest coaching level

Former India cricketer Ajay Ratra becomes the first cricketer to clear BCCI’s Level 3 coaching course since 2007. Ratra was joined by 4 other former players who passed the one-year training schedule. Level 3 of BCCI Coaching is the highest level of coaching in cricket in the country. Gujarat’s Hitesh Majumdar and Tejas Versani, and current Mumbai head coach Omkar Salvi, also cleared the Level 3 exam with Ratra.

Lalchand Rajput, Sunil Joshi, Balwinder Sandhu, M Venkatramana, Robin Singh, Raghuram Bhat, Pravin Amre, Arshad Ayub, Vijay Bhardwaj and Bharat Arun are among the other India internationals, who have attained Level 3 certification. Ratra has come out with flying colors in the training schedule that took place at the NCA under the guidance of VVS Laxman.

“Apart from cricketing skills, a lot of attention was given to soft skills like leadership. As head coaches, we were taught about how to get the best out of the cricketers and support staff, decision making, and how to use data.

“Skill-wise, you have to modify your coaching style as per the strengths and weaknesses of a particular player. The kind of shots he can play and what shot he can avoid. If you are not able to hit sixes, then work on adding more strokes that can help you get boundaries,” said Ajay Ratra.

“I also want to thank NCA, Haryana Cricket Association and my employers ONGC for their constant support,” Ratra added.
