First game of the tournament has already completed. Jangloos 11 dedfeated bhun 11 in the opening game. Tournament is played on Knock out basis because there are 32 teams paticipating. Weather is perfect for cricket today.

Update: On the first day there was protest against Muree Cricket Team for having too many outsiders (the rule allows only 3 outsiders) and in responce Muree Team quit the tournament as protest. I don’t know the details but hey this an outsider team so they will have outsider players. I don’t personally like the idea of this rule of only 3 outsider players. This tournament is not only for Bakote teams & if you have invited teams from different villages and cities then let them decide their playig 11 and let them import players from bigger cities. Playing against and with well known players will only improve level of cricket.
