Moin Khan Sports Academy in Karachi...Update

[Saj]

Folks just to let you know that Moin Khan is currently working on a huge project in Karachi.

He is involved in the creation of a sports academy in Defense Housing Authority which will have an international standard cricket pitch with floodlights, a football pitch, swimming pool, tennis courts, squash courts etc etc.

Moin is hoping that once the project is complete they will be allowed to initially host a Twenty/20 competition and other competitions at a later date.

Once the project is ready membership will be open to the public.

Further details to follow.

Lets hope we can find a few more international sportsmen and women via this academy.

Its a good business decision by Moin.He will charge high fees from rich parents kids who usually have no desire to play for Pakistan.

considering our greatest ever player was a rich kid from Lahore, maybe it's not such a bad idea

You are talking about Imran Khan!
He spent his childhood in zaman Park, Lahore!

zaman park lahore was the cultural centre and it had people from all strata of life. lower class, lower middle class and middle class. every one.

Now you cant compare zaman park with DHA.

the point was to refute the argument that 'rich kids' are not interested in cricket, not the location

Sounds good, good luck to Moin with it!

[lil saeed anwar]

wow, that's great , looking forward to this .

[Omar Malik]

Sounds really good but lets hope it can provide a good platform for the non-******** players!

As I say I'll provide more information as and when I get it from Moin.

This project is the main reason why he hasnt been working much with the PIA cricketers this time around.

saj bhai any update about this project??

thanks

[zarak]

dont they have the c.c.p. academy in defence stadium

[cricketmerijaan]

its funny how people actually believe moin khan is opening this sports complex. It is 99% most likely, that some rich guy in karachi is opening it, and is using moin khan for the publicity side. I can tell you that cost of land and building costs is too much for Moin Khan.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

why cant moin khan afford this??, he must have collected a huge sum from his international carreer

[Faizan Lakhani]

project has already launched, the lush green stadium is in full swing.
it is located near creek vista in Dha 7

[xkalibur80]

is that close creek city in DHA 8? they already have a nice ground with stands and all but not up to international standards.

[farazaidi]

what is it called? Creek club is another club right?

[WNC]

It's in DHA Phase 8, Khayaban-e-Shaheen.
Looks good, not a big ground but has good floodlights.
