GUWAHATI: In order to boost more players from Assam, Assam Cricket Association (ACA) is set to launch Assam Premier Club Championship from the third week of February.
ACA secretary Devajit Saikia addressing the media in Guwahati said that even though inter-district tournaments are organised but hardly all players get a chance to represent their respective districts. Hence to provide a platform to the players, the new apex council has come up with the Assam Premier Club Championship.
It is to be mentioned that around 17,000 players from all over the state will get a chance to showcase their talent in the upcoming Championship.
