Having already supported these teams over the past year, this formal partnership strengthens our commitment to nurturing rural sports talent. The MoU was signed by Avaada Foundation’s Director & CSR Head, Mrs. Ritu Patwari, along with the Foundation team, the parents of the players, and the village head, reaffirming a shared commitment to empowering young girls through sports.

Additionally, five girls have been selected as net bowlers for the Delhi Capitals Women’s Premier League (WPL) team, while three girls have represented at the national level, demonstrating the remarkable talent emerging from rural Rajasthan. From the team, Sarita and Kanchan earned national selection twice, reflecting their exceptional consistency and dedication. Adding to these accomplishments, Sangeeta secured a Bronze Medal and Kanchan won a Silver Medal at the national level, bringing immense pride to their community and demonstrating how sustained support, training, and opportunity can transform rural talent into sporting excellence.
More Than Sponsorship-A Partnership in Belief
Avaada Foundation believes that sports are a powerful tool for women empowerment, leadership development, confidence building, discipline, and holistic growth. By investing in these young cricketers, we are not just sponsoring a team—we are creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and inspiring rural girls to dream without limits.
As these talented athletes continue their journey from village playgrounds to national arenas, Avaada Foundation remains committed to standing beside them—bat for bat, match for match, and dream for dream.
