History
The Assam cricket team is an Indian domestic cricket team that represents the state of Assam, run by the Assam Cricket Association. The team competes in the first-class Ranji Trophy, limited overs Vijay Hazare Trophy and Twenty20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Assam are currently coached by former India batsman Lalchand Rajput.
The first Ranji match to be played in Tinsukia was in December 1992, when Assam took on Bihar. The match featured a young Mahendra Singh Dhoni sporting his signature long hair, as well as emerging youngsters like Debasish Mohanty finding their feet in the game.
Since then, the ground in Tinsukia has hosted countless first-class matches. It also hosted an international T20 match between India and Australia in 2017.
The stadium is now known as the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, after the late BJP leader Bhupen Hazarika. It has a capacity of 10,000. The venue will host two Ranji Trophy matches this season, including an Elite Group C match between Assam and Services on October 25 to 28.
Captains
GUWAHATI: Earlier this year, Nishanta Bordoloi was surprised to find himself named Assam’s Moin-Ud-Dowla Cup captain for this season. But the top-order batsman was in no mood to let this opportunity go by.
ACA has also announced Assam’s U-19 squad for the Cooch Behar Trophy, which will be held at Nagaon against Andhra CA from December 15 to 18. The team is led by Wasiqur Rahman.
Besides Wasiqur, the team includes Nishanta Bordoloi, Dipjyoti Saikia, Mrinmoy Dutta, Sarupam Purkayastha, Rohit Singh and Parvej Musaraf. The rest of the team is unchanged from last year. Besides these, a few new faces have been included in the U-19 side. The ACA has also included players who have played first-class cricket for Assam. Those include GN Kunjru, S Barua and Lalchand Rajput.
