Lawyers at play in TASC Challengers T20 Cup
TASC Challenger Cup which stands for “Thane Advocates Sports Club” is into its second year of this wonderful initiative of bringing practicing advocates to fulfill their hobby and passion towards cricket. In its second successful year, the Club has 16 teams participating this time as compared to the 12 teams who participated last year. It’s basically a Round Robbin format where in there are league matches where each team faces each other once i.e 3 teams per match, then quarters, semis and finals! The competition is conducted in T20 format.
According to the excerpts from Advocate Duduskar who is also the participating player in the Thane A team as well as the president of this club & committee, this tournament is not only to bring all the practicing advocates together but to also allow them to display their passion and hobby towards cricket & also promote the game of cricket amongst the advocates.
Teams like Alibaug, Panvel, Ulhasnagar, Kalyan, Vasai, Bhiwandi, Thane, New Bombay are amongst the 16 teams participating in this year’s edition. Advocate Duduskar also stated a fact that this tournament is basically a practice & breeding ground for all the players and participating teams to prepare themselves for the main and the ultimate big tournament called the Maharashtra Advocates Tournament which will be conducted in Pune this December 2016. As many as 105 teams will participate in that huge tournament from different corners of Maharashtra this year.
We also got to know that all the players of the Thane A team are also the committee members who manage & organize the entire tournament. While Mr Duduskar is the the president, Roshan Shetty is the treasurer of the Club. Also if any advocate or any team wants to participate, they must intimate the committee in advance on which the club can arrange to fit them and get a place for them in the tournament. It is also known through Mr Duduskar’s excerpts that Thane A & Legal Eagles are regarded as the strongest teams right now since they performed really well in the last year’s edition of the TASC Challenger Cup while Vasai & Alibaug are also considered to be strong contenders as they have good players in their arsenal.
As far as players are concerned, Batsman like Armaan Sheikh, Roshan Shetty and Manoj Sonavane, Tushar Shitori are players to look out for in TASC T20 Cup.
We wish the tournament ends on a very bright and a successful note & they also get a good amount of preparation for the big one- “The Maharashtra Advocates Tournament” which will be held next month in Pune!
