Prerana at Blades of Glory: Brett Lee Backs a Museum Initiative to Inspire Young Cricket Fans
Blades of Glory, the world's largest cricket museum, has launched Prerana to bring school children face to face with cricket history through hands-on, curriculum-linked experiences, with fast bowling great Brett Lee backing the launch.
The World's Largest Cricket Museum, Right Here in Pune
Blades of Glory Cricket Museum in Sahakar Nagar, Pune holds the World Record Academy title for the largest cricket museum in the world, awarded in March 2023. Founder Rohan Pate, a former under-19 cricketer, opened the museum in 2012 with Sachin Tendulkar. Since then, over 450 international cricketers and 1.6 million visitors have walked through its galleries, the same galleries where Prerana now brings school children closer to the game.
Brett Lee's Support Brings International Recognition
Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers cricket has seen, backed the launch of Prerana at Blades of Glory. His support puts the initiative in front of cricket fans well beyond India, and marks how far Blades of Glory has grown, from one man's personal collection into a name recognized on the world stage.
What Prerana Does for School Children
Prerana means inspiration. It gives students curriculum-linked, hands-on activities built around the museum's collection, turning cricket's biggest moments into lessons in discipline, history and perseverance that go beyond the textbook.
Made for Every Child: Audiovisual Access for Visually Impaired and Specially Abled Students
Prerana includes an audiovisual experience that lets visually impaired and specially abled children engage with the museum through sound, narration and guided sensory elements, not sight alone. Few museums in India build this kind of access into their programming, and Blades of Glory has made it part of Prerana from day one.
Backed by 75,000+ Pieces of Cricket History
Prerana draws on a collection of over 75,000 cricket memorabilia items gathered from international players across decades, including bats signed by World Cup winning teams and jerseys from historic matches. Standing in front of a bat used in an actual World Cup final makes cricket history real for a child in a way no textbook can.
Built Around NEP 2020
Prerana follows India's National Education Policy 2020, which encourages experiential learning and sports education through museum visits. A school trip under Prerana gives students curriculum-linked learning and an experience they will remember far longer than a classroom lecture.
