The academy was jointly launched by Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan.Also CAP is part of 12 Cities like New Delhi,Noida,Patna,Surat etc.The academy has tied up with former India coach Greg Chappell and Cameron Tradell as chief mentors. It is considered as a failed operation by many cricket critics. Chappell would coach the coaches of the Academy.

Irfan Siddiqi
Siddiqi was born in Karachi, the former capital and largest city of Pakistan, but his family moved to New York City while he was young. He did his schooling at the Bronx High School of Science, Bronx, NY, where he developed a strong interest in physics, chemistry and mathematics. His aptitude in physics and mathematics led him to the Columbia University Science Honors Program. He moved on to Harvard University to complete his undergraduate education, earning an A. B. with distinguished honors (cum laude) in Physics and Chemistry in 1997. Inspired by superconductivity and superconducting circuits during his summer internship at HYPRES, Inc., he enrolled at Yale University for doctoral studies, where his graduate work focused mainly on aluminum hot-electron bolometers. Upon receiving his Ph.D. in 2002, he was awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship at Yale for work on superconducting qubits. His post-doctoral work resulted with the development of the Josephson quantum electron pump or a Josephson Bifurcation Amplifier, which makes use of the non-dissipative, non-linear nature of the Josephson junction to realize high gain and minimal back action measurements of quantum systems. He joined the University of California Berkeley as a physics faculty member in the summer of 2006 and is currently a full professor at the Berkeley Physics department. In 2015, his laboratory was awarded the first-ever UC Berkeley Award for Excellence in Laboratory Safety, awarded by the Berkeley Office of Environment, Health and Safety.
