“The tournament will only feature U25 boys who are sons of the soil either from the probables list of the U25 team or from the players who have done well in the local tournaments. This will help promote and harness homegrown talents and create a bigger pool of players. There will be reserve days for all matches so that there are no abandoned matches because of the climate,” said CAB Secretary Snehashis Ganguly.
Keeping an eye on the weather, the association has chosen to announce the date of the final after all of the matches have been completed, so that no athlete is denied the opportunity to showcase his talent.
