Mohali: PCA backs state cricketers to make it to India teams

Be it in the Indian cricket men or women teams or BCCI T20 leagues, Punjab Cricket Association cricketers are hogging limelight with their talent and inspiring others to go big. Not only the cricketers, even the 33-year-old PCA secretary Dilsher Khanna, who joined the state unit almost two years ago, shared the spotlight by being part of the victorious T20 World Cup winning Indian team contingent. Punjab’s left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh from Kharar was hailed by Indian fans across the globe for his brilliant bowling in the recently concluded T20 World Cup held in the United States of America and the West Indies, especially, in the final where the 25-year-old grabbed two wickets against South Africa at Bridgetown to help India clinch the trophy. The BCCI is doing everything to provide the best to the players and the PCA is also working on those lines,” said Dilsher, who was manager and BCCI representative with the victorious Indian team in the T20 World Cup and played a pivotal role in shaping up the PCA’s Mullanpur Stadium which hosted IPL matches a few months ago. Also, Mannat Kashayap who was part of the winning India U-19 World Cup team, has been named in the 18-member squad for the India A women’s upcoming multi-format tour of Australia.
