A week-long Under-19 Cricket Coaching Camp is currently underway in Kiphire, organised by the Kiphire District Cricket Association (KDCA) under the aegis of the Nagaland Cricket Association. The camp, which began on December 8, is scheduled to conclude on Saturday.
The initiative aims to train young talents, strengthen their fundamentals and instil discipline among upcoming players in the district.

He urged participants to make full use of the opportunities provided and lauded their determination despite limited infrastructure and facilities. He added that the association will continue working to raise cricket in Kiphire to a higher level.
During the ongoing sessions, official umpire of the Kiphire District Cricket Association, Longtili C.

The camp also emphasizes teamwork, physical fitness, and mental strength, offering participants a holistic sports experience.
Daily training sessions, drills, and interactive learning have helped build confidence and inspire a spirit of sportsmanship.
With the camp concluding tomorrow, the initiative is expected to benefit budding cricketers of Kiphire and encourage more youths to take up the sport in the future.
