BCA T20 cricket from November 23

Patna, November 3
It seems, Bihar Cricket Association led by Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, pulls up its socks to start on field activities after a virtual gap of eight years.

The BCA recently got an associate membership after a long-drawn fight with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after losing its permanent membership status to Jharkhand State Cricket Association.

Bihar Cricket Association secretary Ajay Narain Sharma came up with good news on the eve of Bihar's greatest festival Chhath that the association would organize Inter-District Twenty20 tournament at different venues from November 23.

The tournament will be organized simultaneously at eight venues in the primary stage while from quarterfinals onwards the matches will be held at Chapra from November 30. The final of the event will be played on December 4.
