MRF PACE FOUNDATION – THE UNSUNG CORPORATE IN CRICKET

This is a period where most of the leading corporates in India are interested in Cricket. The only reason is the amount of money at stake. I am not saying that they are modern day Shylock’s. Earning money is not a bad thing at all. But how many of them invest the money for actual development of the game. There are only few corporates who contribute to actual development of the game and MRF is the leader among those few.

MRF PACE FOUNDATION - WEB SITE

MRF Pace Foundation was established in 1987 by MRF, the leading tyre manufacturers in India. This Pace Foundation runs under the guidance of legendary Australian fast bowler
Dennis Lillee. T.A. Sekar, former Indian Pace Bowler, is the Chief Coach of this Pace Foundation. It has been the breeding ground for supplying pace bowlers to India. The bowlers having problems with their injury, their form, technique etc would come here and go back as refined and improved bowlers. It not only trains the Indian bowlers but also bowlers form other countries. Sreesanth, RP Singh, Munaf, Irfan and many owe their success to MRF Pace Foundation.

They have well-planned and scientific process in place. They look after the diet, workouts and every other aspects of a fast bowler. They have necessary facilities to nurture and train the fast bowlers. I hope other corporates too follow the footsteps of MRF in promoting the game at grass root levels. The corporates can follow this endeavor in other sports as well. MRF has a great share in well being of Indian fast bowling fortunes.
