In all, 210 players were registered from UP. The players included those who play for Railways but have domicile in UP. For this, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) had asked for permission from BCCI to allow inclusion of Railways players who were outside the competitive cricket for 12 months and whose domicile was from UP. Total 10 players from Railways, out of 45, were picked by the franchises through open bid auction. Six teams in aggregate will pay around Rs 2.8 crore to these players. Right arm medium pacer Kartik Tyagi, whose base price was Rs 5 lakh became the second highest-paid player after he was roped in by Meerut Mavericks for Rs 16.25 lakh. Upendra Yadav from Railways became the third highest-paid player who was taken in by Kashi Rudras for Rs 13.5 lakh. Right hand batter Shivam Chaudhary from Railways was roped by Noida Kings for Rs 10.75 lakh. Uvais Ahmad (25), who had batted brilliantly for Meerut Mavericks in the inaugural season, was picked by the same team for Rs 20 lakh against the base price of Rs 2.5 lakh. Besides, batter and wicketkeeper Shoaib Siddique was roped in by Lucknow Flacons for Rs 10 lakh. "The UPT20 League has evolved into a premier platform for showcasing domestic cricketing talent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With Season 3, we are witnessing unprecedented enthusiasm from players and franchises alike. The auction is not just a selection process — it's a celebration of opportunity, aspiration, and the future of Uttar Pradesh cricket. I am confident this season will set new benchmarks in professionalism, talent discovery, and fan engagement," said BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla. Chairman, Governing Council of UPT20 league, Devendra Chauhan said, "In the third edition of UP T20 League, we have introduced a new feature that players who are domiciled in Uttar Pradesh and play in the Ranji Trophy for the Railways have been included. There are about 11-12 such players whose domicile is in UP, and they have been permitted by the BCCI. As a result, there was intense bidding which will enhance competition, create rivalry, and generate attraction for UP. " "Players selected through talent hunts conducted by the franchises in various districts and camps were given Rs 1.5 lakh in the last season. Their remuneration has been increased to Rs 2 lakh as these players do not get opportunities elsewhere," he said.

India gear up for Tajikistan test ahead of U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers

Drawn in Group E alongside Bahrain, Qatar and Brunei Darussalam, India will be aiming to qualify for the continental event for the first time when the qualifiers are held in September. The match will be played at the Hisor Central Stadium near Dushanbe, with the second fixture against Kyrgyz Republic scheduled for Saturday. New Delhi, Jun 17 (PTI) India men's football team will take on hosts Tajikistan in a friendly match on Wednesday, kicking off a crucial two-match tour that serves as preparation for the AFC U-23 Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers later this year. The ongoing tour is seen as a vital tune-up in terms of acclimatisation, team cohesion, and tactical fine-tuning. The Naushad Moosa-coached 23-member squad had been in camp in Kolkata since June 1 before flying out to Dushanbe. After arriving in the Tajik capital on Monday evening, the team held a mobility session Tuesday morning and followed it up with a 90-minute evening training session at the venue, which is located around 25 kilometres from the city. Tajikistan U23s were last in action in November 2024 when they lost two friendlies against United Arab Emirates, both by a 0-3 margin. At the AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024, Tajikistan were knocked out in the group stage after defeats to Iraq and Saudi Arabia and a win over Thailand. Moosa, however, is not reading too much into past results and is focused on the task at hand. 'We know Tajikistan are a strong team. They qualified for the U23 Asian Cup last year and also did well at the senior Asian Cup,' Moosa stated in AIFF website. 'The players will, of course, be different tomorrow. The coach has changed. We just have to go out there and do our job right,' added Moosa. Despite Dushanbe being located 700 metres above sea level, the weather is hot at this time of the year, soaring to almost 40 degrees during the day. What the Blue Colts mainly have to adjust to is the artificial turf surface of the Hisor Central Stadium, located 25 kilometres from the city of Dushanbe. Moosa hoped for a good turnout at the 20,000-capacity venue. 'The weather is pretty warm. It's normal for us. It's always good to have supporters in the stands. We would love to have them cheer for us,' said Moosa. 'Most of our players are coming here for the first time, so it would be great motivation for them. I think the last time the Indian senior team played in Tajikistan, there were a lot of Indian fans in the stadium, so let's hope for the same.' This tour marks Moosa's second assignment with the India U-23 side, having previously overseen their two friendlies against Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur last year. The 53-year-old has been building momentum and instilling belief in the squad during this ongoing preparation phase. 'The boys are very eager for tomorrow. I've been talking to them about how important these games will be for us,' added Moosa. Kickoff: 8:30pm IST. PTI TAP APA APA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
