“These tournaments will help in giving the right kind of exposure to our female cricketers and in improving their skill-sets,” he added. Notably, the tournament is the first-of-its-kind CAU-organised tournament being held for women cricketers from the state.

The tournament started on Sunday with CAU Purple edging past CAU Green by two runs in a low-scoring thriller. Earlier, Sikkim Cricket Association organised the Khangchendzonga Shield – the first-ever women’s tournament in the state.
