Srinagar, October 18,2025: The Ranji Trophy 2025-26 has once again brought national attention to Kashmir’s Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, placing the valley on the map as a hub of competitive cricket.
The government claims that these high-profile matches are giving the local youth an exposure to display their skills, play at a higher level, and aspire big for professional cricket. The move is a part of a wider trend when sports are becoming a new avatar of #BadaltaKashmir by promoting youth engagement, skill development, and community pride.
As with enhanced infrastructure and frequent organisation of native cricket tournaments, Kashmir is slowly emerging as a core centre for sporting talent in India.
