Assam Cricket Team News

Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull off a heist with their skills and abilities, they are certainly praised. Such was the case with Assam skipper Riyan Parag who created a record of smashing a century in just 56 deliveries against Chhattisgarh in Raipur.

When a star talent emerges from a conventionally non-cricketing region, the pressure to lead the team and make it big can be too much for young bucks to handle. However, Riyan Parag proved he's cut from a different cloth on Tuesday, as he brazenly gestured after a marauding win against Bengal.

Haryana and Assam fought back to even the playing field against Odisha and Chattisgarh, while Jharkhand were found reeling against Maharashtra on day two of the fifth round matches in Group C. Services still trail Jammu and Kashmir by 122 runs, while Tripura took a 12-run lead over Uttarakhand.

Due to heavy protest in North-East for the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), the BCCI has decided to shift two Ranji Trophy matches this season to Ranchi and Puducherry. The Arunachal-Mizoram game is now being played in Puducherry while Jharkhand are now hosting Assam.
