While I appreciate the initiative, I wish they had included more experienced players in the men's squad. Most names are unknown - hope they don't disappoint local fans. But kudos for making it accessible on DD Sports!

As a Nagpur resident, I'm so excited for this! VCA Stadium is going to be packed. Jitesh leading our team feels special after his IPL heroics. Hope this league becomes as big as TNPL one day 💪

Good mix of players, but why no U19 World Cup stars from Vidarbha? This was the perfect platform for them. Still, regional leagues are the future of Indian cricket - more talent will get discovered.

The women's squad looks balanced! Bharti Fulmali's captaincy will be interesting to watch. Just hope the organizers give equal prize money and facilities to both teams. #GenderEqualityInSports
