Odisha village shuns cricket 21 years after 13 players drowned en route to local final

While Cuttack gears up for a T20I, the village of Nuagarh has boycotted cricket for over two decades. This decision stems from the tragic drowning of 13 local cricketers in 2004 while en route to a tournament final. A memorial stands as a stark reminder of the loss that continues to shape the village's relationship with the sport.
