Meghalaya Cricket Association unveils youth squad selections

The Meghalaya Cricket Association (MCA) has announced its shortlisted players for the upcoming BCCI domestic tournaments in the 2024-25 season. The selection process for both the U-15 girls' and U-16 boys' teams has been completed, with 25 and 30 players making the cut respectively.

Selection trials for the girls' team took place from September 15-18, while the boys' trials ran from September 15-20. The MCA's junior selection committees oversaw the process, evaluating talent and potential during the match-based trials.

Required paperwork includes a birth certificate (digital preferred), an up-to-date Aadhaar card, school mark sheets from the past three years, a school bonafide certificate, and a passport-sized photo with identifying details.
