Sikkim to host Ranji Trophy matches for the first time

GANGTOK: Sikkim will host Ranji trophy matches for the first time in December. The state will welcome three northeast teams: Mizoram, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, at the Mining Cricket Ground near Rangpo. 

Sikkim has previously hosted first-class matches at adopted home venues in other states, while the state team has also played Ranji matches at neutral venues.

Sikkim Cricket Association (SCA) president Lobzang G. Tenzing stated, “To host first-class matches is no mean feat for a state association that got full membership just four years ago.”
