SRINAGAR- Two cricketers from J&K have been chosen by the Red Carpet Delhi franchise in the Indian Veteran Premier League (IVPL) to play with the biggest stars in the league.
Fast bowling all-rounder Omar Alam and right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler Samiullah Beigh, who have represented J&K at the national level, will mix it up with some of the game’s greatest players in the league.
As per news agency KNO, Samiulla has played 23 T20s, 37 List-A games, and 61 First-class matches. He also played for North Zone, and attended multiple IPL camps. Meanwhile, Omar Alam has represented J&K in the Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali trophies. He is also well-known in the local cricket environment.
Samiulla Beigh, a resident of Buchpora Srinagar, said, “I’m really excited to be a part of the first IVP league; it’s a prestigious tournament that’s bound to grow. I’ve been playing cricket consistently since retiring from first-class matches to stay in fitness. Facing players like Chris Gayle, Suresh Raina, Sehwag, and Yousuf Pathan will be a great challenge and a lot of pleasure.”
Omar Alam (40), a resident of Babadem, Srinagar said he has played in several leagues and matches at the local and national levels and has been involved in cricket since he was a child.
“We will report to Dehradun by Sunday, and our match is scheduled for February 24,” Alam beamed. (KNO)
