Seven Maruti Marble players drafted in Ghanshyam Tournament

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 3 – As cricket fans eagerly await the highly anticipated Ghanshyam Ten10 Cricket Tournament, the stage is set for an exhilarating competition featuring some of the finest local talents and international stars.

Teams are preparing to battle it out for ultimate glory in the inaugural tournament to be held at the Cutchi Leva grounds.

On Sunday, the curtains came down on the annual Cutchi Leva Six-A-Side Cricket Tournament, where Indian club Maruti Marble emerged victorious with a 12-run win over Stay Lions.

Fans were left asking for more from the young Indian club side, who displayed impressive skills that have made them players to watch in the upcoming Ten10 tournament.

The seven players from Maruti Marble who have been drafted to play in the Ghanshyam Tournament, set to bowl off this weekend, have already made a mark.

Their performance with both bat and ball, and their outstanding fielding, particularly in defending low scores, has been commendable.

In the semifinal against Swamibapa, they defended a total as low as 40 runs, showcasing their resilience and teamwork.

“These boys are good to watch. They are fighters on the pitch and always work for each other. They are a good addition to the tournament and I am sure our boys will learn a lot from them,” said Sikh Union coach David Tikolo.
