Hyderabad, November 15, 2024- The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI), the 106-year-old one of the most vibrant regional chambers, embarked on a new initiative ‘FTCCI President’s Cup 2024. It is an industry cricket tournament.
Mohammad Azharuddin, former Indian Captain unveiled the poster in a brief function held today at FTCCI Office in Red Hills.
Speaking to the gathering the former Indian captain said ‘I am always there for cricket’. Industries need some relaxation and a cricket league for industries is a very good idea. All business and no play is not good for health. They need to play sports to keep fit and lead an active lifestyle, he said.
Azharuddin said along with cricket they must also organise tournaments for other sports. We need to encourage other sports as well.
Replying to a question he said, the real romance in cricket is test matches. Without them, the sport will lose its sheen.
Mr Suresh Singhal, President of FTCCI said it is not merely a sporting event but also a celebration, an event for fostering bonds among people in the industries, forging friendships, collaborations, and networking.
The league will be held on 15th, 16th and 17th December. It will have 8 teams, comprising 11 players and it will be ten over each side’s tournament. The winners will walk away with prizes.
Mr Ravi Kumar, , and KK Maheshwari Vice Presidents of FTCCI and Teams and Players have also participated in the program
