Womens Cricket In Delhi Is Growing From Strength To Strength, Says DDCA Prez Rohan Jaitley
DDCA President Rohan Jaitley: As the third season of the Womens Delhi Premier League (DPL) got underway on Thursday, Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) President Rohan Jaitley said the most encouraging aspect for them is that womens cricket in Delhi is growing from strength to strength When the Womens DPL was introduced, around 80 players registered for the auction, with 78 players required to fill the four squads. Three seasons on, the landscape has expanded significantly, with Delhis domestic womens cricket structure now featuring 48 club teams and a database of more than 700 players, marking an important step in the growth of womens cricket in the capital. The most encouraging aspect for us is that the growth of womens cricket in Delhi is not limited to numbers. When we started the Womens DPL, we wanted to create a platform where players could play regular competitive cricket and showcase themselves. Today, we are seeing a much larger pool of players coming through the system, and that tells us that the pathway is working, Rohan Jaitley, President, Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), said on Thursday. DDCA also organises the DDCA Womens League, where players get an opportunity to perform and showcase their talent. Based on their performances, promising players are shortlisted for the DPL auction, allowing them to be picked by DPL teams and take the next step in their cricketing journey. The most important thing is that we are creating more opportunities for women cricketers to play competitive cricket and prove themselves. The journey from the DDCA Womens League to the DPL is giving players a clear pathway, and we are seeing more and more talented players come through that system. It is very encouraging to see how the league is helping strengthen the overall womens cricket ecosystem in Delhi, Shikha Kumar, Vice President, DDCA, said. The growth has also been reflected in the latest DPL auction, which saw a significantly larger pool of players putting their names forward, highlighting the increasing interest among women cricketers to compete at a higher level and use the league as a pathway to progress. The impact of the growing ecosystem is also being seen in performances on the field. Delhis senior women recently ended a 14-year wait for silverware by winning the 202526 Senior Womens One-Day Trophy, while the states younger players have also continued to make their presence felt, with Delhi finishing runners-up in the 202324 Womens Under-23 T20 Trophy. For us, this is the most important measure of progress. It is one thing to see more players registering and more teams participating, but the real success is when that increased participation starts to translate into quality and performance. Delhi winning the Senior Womens One-Day Trophy after 14 years was a very special moment, and the performances of our younger teams also show that there is considerable talent coming through, Jaitley added. The Womens DPL has played an important role in providing players with exposure to a competitive franchise environment, while also allowing emerging cricketers to perform alongside and against established names. The growth we are seeing in womens cricket is a result of creating the right platforms at the right stages. The DDCA Womens League allows players to perform, while the DPL gives them a bigger platform to showcase their ability. Our focus is to keep strengthening this pathway so that more players can progress and represent Delhi at the highest level, Ashok Sharma, Secretary, DDCA, said. The Womens DPL has played an important role in providing players with exposure to a competitive franchise environment, while also allowing emerging cricketers to perform alongside and against established names. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories We are very encouraged by the journey so far. We have seen the numbers grow, we have seen the quality improve and, most importantly, we have started seeing the results. But we do not want to stop here. The objective is to continue expanding the ecosystem, provide more women cricketers with meaningful opportunities, and create an environment where the next generation of Delhi players can aspire to play at the highest level. Season 3 is another important step in that direction, Jaitley concluded. Article Source: IANS

He discussed the future action agenda of Ministries and Departments dealing with Infrastructure and Connectivity, Security and External Affairs, and Governance.

He called for exploring innovative ways of combining the capabilities of AI with human expertise. Prime Minister emphasised that data is a national asset and a resource for the future.

He pointed to differences in the manner in which data is collected and managed for various purposes, and called for finding solutions that enable greater interoperability and effective use of data. Prime Minister called for greater engagement between government departments, universities and young people to bring fresh perspectives in policymaking.

He reiterated the need for India to move from port development to port-led development. Prime Minister emphasised the need for better connectivity between manufacturing units and export-oriented units, so that Indias manufacturing and export capabilities can fully benefit from its maritime infrastructure.
