Commitment to Cricket
India Cement's contribution towards cricket is immense especially in the last 5 years even though it has been a pioneer in the support of the game for nearly 4 decades.
The India Cements Limited has a rich history of successful management of Cricket Clubs, sponsorship of various cricket tournaments, contribution to deserving cricketing causes, encouragement of young cricketing talent and fierce commitment to improving the quality and standard of Cricket in our country.
Another commendable initiative is the participation of District Players in the City League. Around 100-150 promising players from the districts inducted into the City Clubs get an opportunity to hone their cricketing skills by playing a higher level of cricket.
