The first of its kind NRI Sports Mahotsav is being held this year in India with the primary goal will be on involving as many overseas Citizens of India to attend and take part in these sporting events.The sport in India has been restricted to Indians citizens, which in the end, doesn’t allow those who don’t have Indian citizenship status to take part in any official competition and hence the importance of these events.

We have kept the age average of the team less than 25 years old, according to Vishal Yadav who was a former Ranji Trophy player who has been selected to manage the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
The presence of marquee players in each team will help to create a brand value and encourage the next generation of stars.
A total of 120 players are expected to participate in the festival league festivities, scheduled to take place in October.The general youth of the players will set it apart from other Veterans leagues that are designed for those who are forty.
According to the Constitution of India and the Citizenship Act of 1955, dual citizenship is not granted and in order to participate in tournaments for India it is required to have Indian Citizenship.This is why the kinds of tournaments held in India provide the hope of hope to this huge diaspora group, which has a population of more than 30 million across the globe.
The population of 30 million is at the number.45 on the world’s population map out of the 200 plus nations that exist.
