Former cricketers Venkatesh Prasad and Narendra Hirwani join the Cricket Association of Bengal's Vision 2028 programme to train young pacers and spinners, respectively. Manoj Tiwary will serve as the batting coach. The initiative aims to develop U16 and U19 talents and integrate them into Bengal's future squads.

Former India seamer Venkatesh Prasad and spinner Narendra Hirwani have been enlisted for the next cycle of the Cricket Association of Bengal's (CAB) grassroots development initiative, Vision 2028, as announced by the state body this Saturday.

Prasad is set to train budding pacers from the state, while Hirwani will focus on nurturing emerging spin bowlers. Additionally, former India batter and Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary has been named as the batting coach, according to CAB's statement.

The initial phase of the programme will target cricketers in the U16 and U19 categories, aiming to prepare various age-group squads, including the Senior Bengal side, for the forthcoming domestic season. The long-term objective is to integrate emerging talents into Bengal's various age-group squads, as stated by CAB.

The first phase of Vision 2028 will commence on Sunday and is slated to conclude on July 7.
