The academy will partner with the iconic Singapore Cricket Club (SCC)—one of Asia’s oldest and most prestigious sporting institutions—in a collaboration that blends rich cricketing heritage with modern coaching excellence.
- CSK’s world-renowned coaching ecosystem lands in Singapore through a landmark partnership with the historic Singapore Cricket Club.
- New academy to operate from Padang and Dempsey, offering international-standard infrastructure, floodlit practice nets and turf wickets.
- Launch on July 1, 2026, takes Super Kings Academy closer to the milestone of 50 centres worldwide dedicated to grassroots cricket excellence.
- Collaboration promises to unlock world-class coaching, global exposure and stronger pathways for aspiring Singapore cricketers.
The partnership will be operationalised through Marina 2049 Pte. Ltd., which will serve as the franchisee entity overseeing the structure and management of the collaboration.
Super Kings Academy will function from two premier SCC facilities. The Padang venue, an internationally recognised cricket ground, features three practice nets and floodlights, while the Dempsey facility offers a full ground along with three wickets, including a premium turf wicket, creating a comprehensive high-performance training environment.
Speaking about the expansion, Chennai Super Kings’ MD KS Viswanathan said:
“We are delighted to expand the Super Kings Academy’s footprint across the world with our new centre in Singapore. With this launch, we are moving closer to having almost 50 Super Kings Academy centres globally, all committed to nurturing the next generation of cricketers through world-class infrastructure and expert coaching. We are especially pleased to partner with Singapore Cricket Club, an institution with a strong cricketing heritage, quality facilities, and a shared vision for developing the game at the grassroots level.”
The partnership is expected to significantly elevate youth cricket development in Singapore by combining SCC’s longstanding local ecosystem with Super Kings Academy’s internationally acclaimed coaching philosophy.
Srikanth Kakulapati, Chairman of Games Control Board, Singapore Cricket Club, said:
“Singapore Cricket Club is proud to partner with Super Kings Academy in what we believe will be a defining moment for cricket development in Singapore. The SCC has always been the cornerstone of our Club’s youth programme, and this partnership amplifies everything we have built — combining our established local platform and community with SKA’s international coaching expertise and global network.
