Srinagar, May 9: The real success of the first of its kind JKCA Talent Hunt trials, being conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) in selected eight zones across the Union Territory, is that the raw talent from even remotest areas is finding berth in the probable list.

Now, JKCA is itself reaching to the cricketers, otherwise, there was a custom that cricketers had to toil hard to reach to the JKCA Headquarters for their selection.
This was stated by the Talent Hunt teams at different zones while feeling ecstatic over the prevailing system in JKCA.


“We saw the real success of Talent Hunt by JKCA yesterday. Got raw talent from Gool Gulabgarh area on the third day of U-19 boys trials. Two boys reached the camp at 2:30 pm on the third and concluding day of the trials. However, we considered them for the trials only after coming to know that there are electricity issues in their area and they hardly get timely day-to-day information about the things. The concept of Talent Hunt deserves salutation. Hats off to the brainchild behind this historic initiative,” said one of the Talent Hunt teams on overwhelming response of the cricketers.


Meanwhile, the trials for Under-23 boys and girls began with great enthusiasm and spirit at all the selected venues accross the Union Territory today.
