The association unanimously expressed gratitude to CM Nitish Kumar for honouring Buxar native Anu Kumari, a member of the T20 Women’s World Cup-winning team.

Presided over by BDCA president Varsha Pandey, the meeting discussed key measures aimed at reorganising cricket activities, improving the administrative framework and promoting emerging talent across the district.


It was resolved that all affiliated clubs must re-register for the 2025-26 season. New clubs will also be allowed to register within the stipulated period. Registration forms will be available at the secretary’s residential office at Rambagh, PP Road, Buxar, from Feb 7 to 10 between 2pm and 5pm. Completed forms must be submitted by Feb 12, said an official.

The association also announced that district-level league competitions will be organised from the second half of Feb in Under-16, Under-19, Under-23 and senior categories.
