GANGTOK: The selection trials for Sikkim cricket team in all categories commenced on September 22 in all four districts.
Even though there is some uncertainty as far as the 2020-21 domestic cricket season is concerned due to the on-going pandemic, Sikkim Cricket Association (SICA) has taken up the challenge and successfully conducted the first round of the selection trials in all four districts whilst strictly adhering to the SOP issued by State Health department, informs a press release.
“On behalf of the SICA family, I am extremely grateful and impressed by the dedication and resolve shown by the executives, observers, support staff and office staff to reach the venue for the trials/selections of SICA teams and the district bodies for helping SICA organize the event. The pandemic, weather, the lockdown and road conditions have not deterred your call of duty. I also appreciate the players to have reached the venue despite all odds and this motivates us more to work for you,” said SICA president Lobzang G. Tenzing.
The final selection trial of the shortlisted players from all the four districts is currently underway at Sikkim Cricket Ground at Mining, Rangpo. The selection trial will conclude on October 3 with selected players from this stage to be categorized as probables for the Sikkim teams for various categories of national tournaments.
