Born out of a need to foster young talent that is wholesome in their approach to Cricket, Kallicharran has set up an academy for young kids. The academy is an excellent gateway for aspiring, young cricketers to train under one of the greatest cricketing minds.

Alvin's Give Back

When his life was spared some time back, Alvin found purpose in his life anew. With careful re-examination, he has come to understand that each person is presented with a purpose in their lifetime. With this in mind, Alvin has been actively engaged in his pursuit to give-back to the community what he gained. When he is not working or coaching, you can find him engaged in animated discussions with people, inspiring them with his life lessons and spiritual insight.

What makes a player a sportsman? How does one develop fortitude and thrive in difficult circumstances? Why is it ok to do the right thing even when faced with dire consequences?

Alvin makes a case for embracing our humanity, decency, and strength when presented even with the bleakest situations in life. Using his experiences and reflections as launchpads, he tries to inspire hope, positivity and perseverance in his readers.
