SRINAGAR, June 28: In a remarkable step towards promoting youth participation in sports, Minister for FCS&CA, IT, Transport, Youth Services and Sports, Satish Sharma, today inaugurated the Epic Victory Cricket League (EVCL) Trials at Doon School, Srinagar.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from aspiring cricketers from across the Kashmir Valley, marking a significant milestone in the UT's grassroots sports development efforts.
Addressing the gathering, the Minister commended the initiative undertaken by Eventovista Private Limited through EVCL, describing it as a powerful platform to identify and nurture cricketing talent in Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the government is committed towards creating new avenues and institutional support systems to help young athletes flourish and represent the Union Territory at national and international levels.
"Jammu and Kashmir has no dearth of talent. What is needed is the right opportunity and a supportive ecosystem. Initiatives like EVCL not only serve as talent pools but also reflect our shared vision of empowering youth through sports," asserted the Minister.
Satish Sharma reiterated the government's unwavering resolve to develop state-of-the-art sports infrastructure, enhance coaching access and introduce league-based competitive exposure for youth in every district of the UT.
Former Indian cricketer and IPL player Anureet Singh joined the ceremony and officially flagged off the trials for Kashmir. His presence served as a major source of inspiration for the young participants.
The trials will continue over the coming days, with selected talent moving ahead to represent the Kashmir region in the broader EVCL tournament structure.
