Mr. Srihari said that sports have the power to keep the youth away from drugs and help them become disciplined athletes and responsible citizens.

“Youth should opt for any one sport and try to excel in it,” he said. The Minister hoped the TPL would be a big success, as it also carries the message ‘Say No To Drugs’.

Mr. O. Ramesh, Director of the league’s organizing company Zuper LED, said that this league was not just organized for entertainment but to raise awareness about healthy living, fitness, and sports in society. He mentioned that Zuper LED was organizing these competitions with its CSR funds.

These competitions are being held with 600 teams at nearly 60 venues across the two Telugu states, he added. Four teams from Telangana and four from Andhra Pradesh will be selected for the knockout rounds. He also stated that the idea is to provide rural cricketers with an opportunity to play on a big platform, with a total prize money of Rs 80 lakhs.
