The tour, organized by the Assam Cricket Association (ACA), aims to provide valuable exposure and experience to budding cricketers like Debojit.

Starting his journey from playing cricket at KV ONGC Srikona, Debojit’s passion for the sport has been evident since his early days.

Speaking about Debojit’s selection, his brother, Monojit Das, shared insights into his cricketing journey, highlighting his consistent performances and love for the game since childhood. Despite balancing his cricketing aspirations with academic pursuits, including appearing for his Class 10 board exams this year, Debojit has remained focused on honing his cricketing skills.

The warm send-off ceremony organized by ACA at the Guwahati Stadium was a testament to the support and encouragement extended to the young cricketers embarking on this tour. With experienced coaches and support staff guiding them, Debojit and his teammates are geared up for the challenges ahead.

Debojit’s selection not only brings pride to Silchar but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers in the region. His journey from playing cricket in school to representing his state on an international tour reflects the talent and potential nurtured in the grassroots of Silchar.

The cricket team, led by captain Aman Yadav and vice-captain Rahul Tamuli, is gearing up for an exciting tour to Bangladesh.
