Ranji Triumph Proves J&K Can Produce India Stars: Omar Abdullah To NDTV

Jammu And Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said Jammu & Kashmir's Ranji Trophy run shows its players have earned the right to wear the India jersey, arguing that a team capable of winning the country's top domestic title must naturally produce national-level talent. He added that J&K's performance has showcased long-existing but overlooked potential, held back by limited exposure and opportunities. "The team has spoken for itself," he said, calling the breakthrough a "better-late-than-never" moment after 67 years.
