Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], October 6 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami attended the final clash of the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL), lauding the league for its promotion of women's players.

Speaking in Dehradun about league's promotion of women's cricket, Dhami said, 'I am delighted that the Uttarakhand Cricket Association is promoting women players, besides the men players. Four teams of women players performed brilliantly in this tournament. I am confident that the participation of women in this League will prove to be a milestone in the future.'
