Therefore, the association has always been at the helm to promote and develop the game of cricket. It includes both boys and girls at the City and District level for the last several years.

Moreover, the rise of women’s cricket in India has been tremendous. The performance of the women’s team in the 2017 Women’s World Cup has proved to be one of the major reasons.

Furthermore, TNCA has always taken new initiatives in order to aware the players and encourage them continuously. The players, in the long run, will reap the rewards.

The new initiative taken by TNCA is an exclusive tournament for the women fold. It has been planned in order to promote and give the girls further opportunities to make it big.

Interestingly, it will be a great platform for young budding women cricketers. They have planned to launch two separate tournaments. There will be a One day and Twenty20 tournament. It will be held later in the month.
