Providing a state of the art facility was a key promise that EYCA's founders made at the beginning of 2012 and the organization has now delivered on its promise.

"While I want to thank my current management team for all the hard work they have put in for last two years," Samant Gopal, EYCA President said on the occasion.  He also thanked EYCA's parent volunteers without whose trust and support and countless hours of work nothing would have been possible. “You guys Rock!” Mr. Gopal said.

Mr. Gopal also thanked the following members of the cricket fraternity for their resources, contacts and more importantly their knowledge: Owen Graham (OG), Ganesh Sanap, Jamie Harrison (USYCA), Sarabjit Chadda, Rajesh Suthar, Mukul Kumar, Nigel Coutinho (DreamCricket), Abrar Ahmed, Bhavani Pedadda, Sujesh Pulikkal, Anthony La Rue, Frank Camarda.
