Mangaluru is set to host selection trials for the under-19 men’s cricket team of the Mangaluru zone at the Saibeen Complex’s 22-yards indoor facility in Lalbhagh. The trials are scheduled as follows: for Kodagu district players on July 14, Udupi district players on July 15, and Dakshina Kannada district players on July 16. Eligibility criteria state that participants must be born on or after September 1, 2005.
The trials aim to scout young talent across these districts to form a competitive team representing the Mangaluru zone. This initiative provides a platform for budding cricketers to showcase their skills and potentially advance to higher levels of regional and state cricket.
Organized by local cricket authorities, the trials are crucial for identifying promising players who demonstrate not only technical prowess but also a keen understanding of the game’s dynamics. Such initiatives play a pivotal role in nurturing cricketing talent at the grassroots level and fostering a passion for the sport among youth in the region.
