The clinic for students and coaches comprised tutorials and practical sessions with the emphasis on helping aspiring cricketers to improve their game.

Led by the South African, who guided India to World Cup glory in April 2011, and three coaches from the Gary Kirsten Cricket Academy in South Africa, students were taught how to deal with various issues such as mentality, manag­ing pressure during games, dealing with different conditions and playing against different variations of bowling.

The clinic, held in association with ProCoach Middle East, also involved net sessions, video analy­sis as well as one-on-one coaching with Kirsten, who played 101 Tests and 185 ODIs for South Africa between 1993 to 2004.
