UTCA President Sanjay Tandon along with his senior functionaries apprised Kuruvilla about the potentials of cricket in Chandigarh. Tandon informed that UTCA had hosted Syed Mushtaq Ali in two venues along with other big events in the past. Under 19 Girls NCA also concluded successfully in the recent times.
