Held under his leadership, this tournament marks a historic and empowering step toward nurturing women's cricket at the grassroots level.<p>The opening match of the tournament was played between RPCA and N.K. Khanna Club at the picturesque grounds of Modern School, Barakhamba Road. With participation from 41 DDCA-registered clubs, the tournament promises to offer a vibrant platform for aspiring women cricketers to shine and make their mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The inauguration ceremony was graced by chief guest Sangeeta Jaitley, who, while addressing the players, emphasised that this tournament is not just a competition but a powerful symbol of determination and inner strength. \u201cThis platform will serve as a benchmark of hard work and self-belief. I\u2019m confident it will continue to inspire generations of women athletes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>DDCA vice-president Shikha Kumar, a strong advocate for women\u2019s cricket, acknowledged the efforts behind the scenes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThis tournament was a long-pending need. Thanks to the relentless support of President Rohan Jaitley and the Apex Council, it is now a reality.
