The Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) on Thursday announced that it will host eight national-level matches during the 2025–26 cricket season. These include three Ranji Trophy, three Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy, and two Cooch Behar Trophy matches.
The Ranji Trophy fixtures will feature top domestic teams and will include matches against Mumbai and Rajasthan, both to be played at the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, Srinagar.
The Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy matches will be held at the Hostel Ground, Jammu, while the Cooch Behar Trophy matches are scheduled at the Jammu University Cricket Ground.
The season will open with a Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai on 15th October 2025 at Srinagar, marking an exciting start for J&K cricket fans.
Brig Anil Gupta (Retd) stated that the JKCA warmly welcomes cricket enthusiasts and supporters to witness their favourite players in action. Several national and international players are expected to feature in matches across Srinagar and Jammu during the season, offering fans a chance to enjoy top-quality cricket at their home venues.
Spectators are advised that carrying bottles or tiffins inside the venue will not be permitted for security and safety reasons. Brig Gupta appealed to all attendees to maintain decorum and dignity while cheering. He added, “Cheer the teams and your favourite players wholeheartedly, but refrain from hooting or any kind of sloganeering. Our guest teams too deserve applause for their good performances.”
“As informed earlier only those media persons having JKCA issued accreditation cards will be allowed inside the venue,” asserted Brig Gupta.
