Similarly in cricket also 16 players and 2 officials i.e. staff are taking. While in volleyball only 12 players and two officials will be selected. As the winter season starts very early in Upper Chitral, in the month of October, people from here go to the down districts and spend the winter there. Very few people live here even famous players also go to down districts. Three hundred players participated in these trials. In response to a question, Usman said that we have a lot of talented players, we have good players and hope that our players will give their opponents a tough time. That means they will compete well with their opponents. Now this team will be selected based on merit and I am hopeful that the Chitral team will be become champions in these competitions.
