Tripura cricket is set to get a boost with former India captain Sourav Ganguly announcing on Monday that he would train junior teams from the state.
“I will come here (Agartala) soon to coach the Under-16 and Under-19 cricket teams of Tripura,” Ganguly announced amidst huge applause at a function here on Sunday night.
The function is organised by the Tripura Cricket Association every year to felicitate prominent cricketers. Ganguly asked the TCA to organise more tournaments consisting of three-day or five-day matches in order to improve the skills of budding cricketers.
“Test cricket is the real competition for the all round development of the players and the game,” he said.
Ganguly, who is also the joint secretary of the Cricket Association of Bengal, requested young cricketers to use the available infrastructure and fully devote themselves to the game with all sincerity to improve their efficiency.
