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 8 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.
