| Many young Muslim girls from poor backgrounds in Vadodara have taken to cricket in the hope of getting a ticket to a better life, like the Pathan brothers, Yusuf and Irfan. On Sunday, Surat organized its first ever cricket tournament for Muslim girls in floodlights, making history of sorts for the minority dominated Rander area of the city.
The Rander Islamia Gymkhana became the first ground to host such a match. Four all-girls teams played in the event organized to empower the new generation of Muslim girls. The girls played the matches in specially designed bright coloured tracks and T-shirts. The spectators too had a large numbers of girls. To cheer their team, 38 school girls arrived all the way from Mumbai. |
