(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- The J&K cricket Association has credited its recent success to a transparent and merit-based selection process, ensuring a corruption-free and nepotism-free environment for players.

Brigadier Anil Gupta (retd), a key member of the BCCI-appointed committee overseeing J&K cricket said transparency in selection, confidence in players, giving them the best of facilities, good coaches, enough match practice, pre-tournament matches, and the belief that they can win is what has made the change this season.

He further emphasized the role of unity and motivation in the dressing room.“The team is motivated, the players are mentally tough, the dressing room is cordial, and the players are enjoying. There is a good bonhomie in the group, and that is what makes the difference.”

He further stated that one of the major reforms initiated by the JKCA was ending regional favouritism in selections.

“We set the process in motion. One of the main things was the selection process-we made it very transparent, and we ensured that the best get selected, no favoritism or regionalism. J&K cricket was marred with regionalism, so we stopped that.”
