Meghalaya Trio Selected for Northeast Team in BCCI Inter-Zone Tourney

Three women cricketers and one support staff member from Meghalaya have been chosen to represent the North East Zone in the Senior Women Inter-Zonal One-Day Trophy 2026, organized by the BCCI in Bengaluru. The tournament will be hosted at the BCCI Centre of Excellence and will consist of six zonal teams: North, South, East, West, Central, and North East Zones. The North East Zone team will be captained by Debasmita Dutta from Meghalaya, alongside Rubi Chettri from Ri Bhoi district and Daiaka Warjri from Mairang. Additionally, Darishesha Mawroh from Shillong has been appointed as the Strength and Conditioning coach for the team. This selection underscores the representation of players and support staff from six states—Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Sikkim—within the North East Zone. Notably, Meghalaya has three players and one S&C coach, surpassing other states, which generally feature two players each. The support staff includes diverse representation: the head coach from Sikkim, assistant coach from Manipur, physiotherapist from Arunachal Pradesh, and video analyst from Mizoram. This achievement emphasizes the growing impact and contribution of Meghalaya’s cricketers to women’s cricket in the North East.
