Nagaland sought support for its cricketers after its women’s U-19 team was dismissed for two runs against Kerala in a One-day League and Knockout Tournament game at Guntur on Friday. “While the huge defeat is definitely a disappointment, our girls need encouragement and support for better performances in the future,” P Bendang Jamir, vice-president of Nagaland Cricket Association (NCA) said. According to NCA, Nagaland cricketers have been doing quite well in the boys’ age-group tournaments of BCCI. Tahmeed was among four U-19 Nagaland players to be named in the East Zone probables’ list in 2016. “We appeal to sports lovers to support our cricketers and we assure that NCA will continue to pursue improvement of the game in the state at all levels.”
