The local Ranji squad of the Union Territory Cricket Association (UTCA), Chandigarh, left for Cuttack today. Anup Gupta, Deputy Mayor and member of the UTCA, gave a cordial send-off to the squad from the Sector 16 Cricket Stadium.
The team will have to undergo quarantine till February 14. It will practise on February 15 and 16. Chandigarh will play its first match against Hyderabad on February 17, followed by Baroda on February 24. The team will face West Bengal in its last fixture on March 3.
