DDCA to Receive Best Overall Performance Award by BCCI

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to honour Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) with Best Overall Performance award.

DDCA will get the award on the back of producing some exciting talent. The Delhi domestic team have shown a great consistency level. Junior and Senior players have delivered the goods in both Men and Women teams.

It is great to note the State Association has taken giant strides in the domestic circuit. Players like Tejas Baroka and Jonty Sindhu have come through the ranks to come up good at the Junoir level.

It is a great honour for DDCA.

“DDCA is pleased to hear that BCCI has conferred this State Association with the Best Overall Performance Award’. We have shown the consistency in the Senior and Junior teams in Men and Women’s formats,” Justice (Retd.) Vikramjit Sen, Court Appointed Administrator said in a release.

Sen appreciated the consistency shown by Tejas Baroka and Jonty Sindu. Baroka is the highest wicket-taker at the Under-23 level while Sindhu is the highest run-getter at the Under-19 level in the domestic circuit.

“Talented DDCA players Mr Tejas Baroka and Mr Jonty Sidhu have also been recognized as the highest wicket-taker (Under 23) and highest scorer (under 19) respectively which is laudable. Congratulations to the talented players of DDCA who have made this Award possible,” Justice Sen said.

“My experience at the helm of DDCA for the last 16 months has reaffirmed the need of judicial intervention in streamlining the affairs of sports bodies. The reforms set in motion by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Hon’ble High Court of Delhi have brought in results, which were the need of the hour,” he added.

Sen added the current members of the Cricket Affairs Committee had helped them in achieving the results. Cricket Affairs Committee include former players like Saba Karim and Madan Lal.

“I appreciate the efforts of the Cricket Affairs Committee that comprised of Madan Lal, Sunil Valson, Amita Sharma, Syed Saba Karim and G.S Vivek, the Selectors, Coaches, Managers and other support staff appointed in support of the domestic teams.”

DDCA has reaped fruits of a collective team effort. It is pleasing to note that the Domestic Circuit is taken well care of by the State Association. Thus, Delhi is producing talented players on regular intervals.
