Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) announced a major expansion and reopening of registrations for the upcoming Under-14 boys Inter-School Tournament to be held in December. Instead of 120, the number of teams has now been capped at 240, owing to overwhelming demand, the cricket body stated.
“Entries are now accepted at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad till 6 pm on November 14, or until the maximum limit of 240 teams is reached. The entry fee is ₹2,000 per team, in cash, at the time of submission of the entry,” the HCA stated in a press release on Friday.
As per HCA earlier notification, registrations were capped at a cumulative total of 120 schools and were subsequently closed upon reaching the capacity. However, to accommodate the overwhelming demand and ensure maximum participation of young cricketers, the HCA has officially doubled the tournament capacity to 240 teams and reopening the registrations.
