India’s ODI and T20 skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been named as the face and brand ambassador of the Craig McDermott International Cricket Academy (CMICA), a leading state of the art private cricket and educational sports academy in Australia.

It proposes to offer a four-year bachelor’s degree in sports science and management with special emphasis on cricket.

Dhoni said that he was excited to be part of this initiative as it will give him the opportunity to meet and mentor young aspiring cricketers in, both, India and Australia.
