The Story in Brief
The three-day Andhra State 1st Ranking Carrom Tournament, organised by the Andhra State Carrom Association and Nellore District Carrom Association, began on Friday at Nellore Club. Nearly 200 players from 15 districts are expected to compete in men’s and women’s singles knockout matches.
The event will determine state ranking points for selection to the Andhra Pradesh team for national championships. DSR Murthy serves as chief referee and SK Sajida as assistant. Notable entrants include international players Ch Janardhan Reddy, B Shobhika, and Guinness World Record holder Sk Husna Sameera.
The Indian Opinion
State ranking tournaments like this are a small but vital step for carrom, a sport often overshadowed by cricket and kabaddi in Andhra. The Hans India reports that nearly 200 players are taking part, but the real test is whether the ranking points will actually lead to better representation at national championships. How many of these players will break into the Indian team in the coming year?
