Maru Mal Memorial
Inter-School Cricket Tournament
(Gurugram’s prestigious (MMMICT) In its 21st year)
In its 21st year, Gurugram’s prestigious Maru Mal Memorial
Inter-school Cricket Tournament (MMMICT) confirmed
participation of a total of 38 teams out of which 6 are - girls’
school teams.
In keeping abreast with the “BetiBachao, BetiPadhao”
scheme, this competition is one of the many initiatives being
undertaken by M. M. Public School, to further the interest of
the girl child in education. Rooted in humble beginnings, the
competition started with participation from 8 neighboring
schools, in 1999, but has gained prestige over the years to
become the most prestigious under-19 cricketing event
among Gurugram schools.
Due to overwhelming response over the past few years, the
competition decided to scale the event to double its size in the
previous years.
The XXI edition of the competition will see 38 teams – 32
boys teams (U 14 & U 19), and 6 girls teams, competing for
the coveted trophies over 13 grueling match-days. The teams
will be divided into two groups of 16 teams each for boys,
and 3 teams for girls. These groups will play the knockout
round to decide which two teams from each group
respectively will face-off in the finals, which will be
conducted on the 2nd December.
