Delhi Academy Teams Win U-17, U-16 Cricket Matches This Month
Ekta Club and Anchal Academy recorded victories in under-17 and under-16 fixtures while the third Delhi Premier League prepares to open later this month.
How we reported this
Ekta Club defeated Sumit Dogra Academy by 33 runs and Anchal Academy beat Starus Academy by 2 wickets in recent under-17 and under-16 cricket matches. Those results stand as the clearest on-field outcomes available from local academy play this period.
The matches reflect steady activity at the academy level even as larger events approach. Delhi clubs continue to schedule fixtures that give young players match practice ahead of the main season. The outcomes also show the competitive balance among established local sides that feed talent into bigger platforms.
Academy Results and Local Development
Ekta Club’s 33-run margin and Anchal Academy’s two-wicket win provide concrete numbers from the latest round. Both results came in age-group contests that form part of the regular calendar for Delhi cricket academies. These games remain important for identifying players who may progress to state or national pathways.
Delhi Skateboarding has held the top position in the RSFI national championship each year from 2020 through 2024. That streak supplies a separate measure of sustained performance by a city team across multiple seasons.
Schedule and Coaching Updates
The third edition of the Delhi Premier League is set to run from July 31 to August 30, 2026, with Rishabh Pant and Nitish Rana among the listed participants. Former India player Yuvraj Singh will join the Delhi Capitals as batting coach for IPL 2027 alongside Sourav Ganguly. Local squash player Anahat Singh has reached the peak of her current season and now focuses on the Asian Games and Olympics.
These dates and appointments give clubs and athletes clear timelines for preparation. The DPL window opens in two weeks, allowing squads time to finalise line-ups drawn from recent academy form. Next steps centre on continued training and selection trials that feed directly into the July 31 start.
