Cricket fever grips Sikkim women

Cricket fever grips Sikkim women: "Sikkim Cricket Association General Secretary Tika Subba said women are showing an interest in the game.

'There has been a major progress in the field of cricket in Sikkim. Unlike earlier, when we used to play cricket, hardly anybody knew about cricket, how it is played. But now, because of television, the public has come to know about how it is played,' Subba told reporters.

'Slowly and steadily girls are also getting interested in playing cricket. The boys have been playing it for long,' he added.

Women cricketers are confident of performing well at the national level."
