Internet Desk: Star Indian cricketers Irfan Pathan and his brother Yusuf Pathan who is also known as the ‘Pathan Brothers’, have started a joint venture with the Indian army, as they are sponsoring two young cricketers from Jammu & Kashmir to train at their academy in Noida.

The two youngsters who were selected through trials by the Indian army are Danish Qadeer (18 years) and Shahrukh Husssein (20 years).

“Kids were selected by the Indian army for which they had conducted trials at Kupwara district of J&K. Out of 100 cricket enthusiasts, two were selected by the Indian Army for training under CAP,” Irfan said.

When asked about the youngsters’ future, Irfan said: “These kids have just enrolled in the academy. They would be going through the preliminary module of CAP and after completing the preliminary module they would advance to the other levels of CAP modules.”

Irfan too hailed the Indian Army for the initiative and said both of them will always support and promote cricket in India.

“We are always there to support and promote cricket. It is a very noble move by the Indian Army to support these kids,” he said.
