The “Opinion†given by Prof. Rathnakara Shetty, the CEO of BCCI, while inaugurating the new ‘UDCA†in Udupi district has been well appreciated Stressing the need to have good coaches to develop cricket and cricketing talent in our country. As far as UDCA is concerned it’s a good move to engage the young budding cricketers of our district to hone their cricketing skills and to encourage the local talents. I sincerely hope that some of our district cricketers will get a chance to play for our state and national teams in the near future. All the best for Udupi district cricket Association (UDCA)! | |

DK and Udupi district are neglected in sports as well including other areas. We do not have a decent cricket ground in twin districts. That will tell the status of facilities provided to the young players of our districts. Formation of UDCA is a good news for all cricket enthusiasts and budding players. I hope UDCA will support young talents and Udupi will produce some international players in coming years. Thanks for the report Snehalatha! |
