AGARTALA: In a major boost to grassroots sports development, the Tripura Cricket Association (TCA) organized a grand cricket kit distribution ceremony at the Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan on Tuesday. Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha graced the occasion as the chief guest and distributed 108 professional cricket kits to selected young players from various districts across the state.
Addressing a vibrant gathering of young athletes, coaches, and sports enthusiasts, Dr. Saha emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to nurturing local talent. “Our state government is constantly striving to expand sports infrastructure and provide platform to talented players,” the Chief Minister stated. He expressed strong optimism that empowering young cricketers with quality gear at the right time would pave their way to national and international arenas.
