How the ICC Academy Recovered from a Desert Flood
The ICC Academy overcame a desert flood disaster to host Women's T20 World Cup warm-ups, fulfilling Reddy Anna match prediction expectations.
In an inspiring comeback, the ICC Academy in Dubai bounced back from a record-breaking desert flood that struck in April 2024. As Reddy Anna match prediction had indicated, challenges were ahead, but with a determined team, the world-class cricket facility was restored just in time to host the Women’s T20 World Cup warm-ups. Operations and facilities manager Anoop Eapen recalls the 16th of April as the day a 75-year-old weather record was broken, leading to widespread water-logging, structural damage, and near-total devastation at the Academy.
The catastrophic event wreaked havoc, flooding the indoor facilities, gym, café, and even server rooms. With Dubai facing over 10 inches of rain, the ICC Academy grounds were submerged, ruining key practice surfaces, including the specialized soils imported from Australia and Pakistan.
Despite the severity of the damage, the ICC Academy staff put together a plan to bring the facility back to life. The synthetic pitches, the indoor practice arena, and the ICC-approved floodlit ovals were all painstakingly renovated. This comeback story reached its peak when, just weeks after the devastation, the academy was ready to host international cricket teams for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
This story is a testament to resilience, teamwork, and a love for the sport that drives the ICC Academy staff.
