The Tripura Cricket Association (TCA) is set to host a T10 friendly match for the first time in the state, bringing Bengal Tigers to play against the TCA XI. The inaugural match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 3, at the Kamalpur Cricket Ground in Dhalai District.

"Such a match of national standard is being played for the first time in the Dhalai district, and it is expected to draw thousands of enthusiastic cricket fans," Dey said.

The match will be inaugurated by Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, a sports enthusiast who has consistently promoted athletic and youth initiatives in the state. "The CM's participation adds immense value, reflecting his vision for an Ek Tripura, Shreshtha Tripura, and Nasha Mukt Tripura," added Dey.

TCA has also announced plans to identify and nurture cricketing talent from the remotest corners of the state. "We want to bring forward hidden talent and give them the right platform to shine. This match is just the beginning of a broader vision," Dey said.

Following the Kamalpur face-off, the T20 match between the Bengal Tigers and TCA XI will be held on August 4, 2025, at the iconic MBB Stadium in Agartala.

While this is exciting, I hope TCA ensures proper facilities at Kamalpur ground. Many times these rural venues lack basic amenities for players and spectators. The intention is good but execution matters.

T10 format is perfect for engaging youth! âš¡ Hope they organize coaching camps alongside these matches to really develop cricket at grassroots level in Tripura. More power to our Northeastern cricketers!

Tickets should be kept affordable so that maximum locals can attend. Cricket shouldn't become an elite sport - it's our national game after all! Good luck to both teams 👍
