What a fantastic initiative! Tennis ball cricket is how most of us in small towns start playing. Glad to see global recognition for our desi version of cricket. Hope this gives real opportunities to talented players from tier 2/3 cities. 🙌

Interesting to see Errol Musk supporting this. But I hope the focus remains on developing Indian talent rather than just getting foreign endorsements. Our gully cricket players deserve proper infrastructure and coaching.

Tennis ball cricket World Cup? That's new! But why not - we dominate regular cricket, might as well conquer this format too. Jokes aside, good to see innovation in sports. Maybe next we'll have corporate leagues for this!

As a physical education teacher, I'm thrilled! Many talented kids can't afford proper cricket gear. This makes the sport more accessible. Hope they include girls' categories soon - our daughters need these opportunities too.

The Musk connection is great PR but let's see if this translates to actual benefits for players. Hope the selection process remains transparent and merit-based. We've seen too many sports initiatives fail due to politics.

Played tennis ball cricket throughout my college days! 😊 This brings back memories. Hope they have proper medical support though - those balls can hurt when bowled fast! Wishing all participants the very best.
