Sikkim’s cricket captain Nilesh Lamichaney bags prestigious BDM sponsorship

Nilesh Lamichaney, Captain of the Sikkim Cricket Team, added another feather to his short cricket career when he grabbed an opportunity to sign a sponsorship contract with the famed BDM Company. B. D. Mahajan & Sons Private Limited, more popular as BDM, is the world-famous manufacturer of Cricket bats, Cricket Balls, & Cricket Batting pads from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. He now joins the league of players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ricky Pointing, and others.

Captian Nilesh would like to thank BDM, especially Aditya Mahajan and Sanjeev Sharma, through this press release. Nilesh says it was his century and a couple of half-centuries last season that helped him to promote himself on sponsorship. He said that the prestigious contract has given me more responsibility, and I am more focused on my game. He thanked Sanjeev Sharma, coach of Sikkim Cricket Team and former India seamer, for all the support and motivation. He further said he scored his first century in a National Level tournament playing for the U-15 category with a BDM bat. The sponsorship has given a strong and positive message that if you play with your heart and with dedication, it pays you back. 

Adding to the recent performance of the Sikkim team at the Ranji Trophy, Nilesh said the winning habit was never easy, but thankfully, three professional players' performances helped the team’s spirit. They not only helped us win, but our players gained more confidence playing with them. Fielding had been the highlight of the tournament. We played to our best, and we wish to improve our performances in the coming season, he said.

I have been playing with this team since my U-15 days. I was given an opportunity to lead the team then, and since then, my captaincy has improved. The future of cricket at Sikkim is going to be the next big thing. The cricket stadium is on the line, and today, the youngsters can choose cricket as a career, he further added.
