Excellent 61 on 2nd XI debut adds to great batting season in first ACC season

'I am loving my first season for Addiscombe'
- Yasir Tufail

After a scoring a quick 55 for the 3rd XI last week, Yasir Tufail was promoted to a 2nd XI debut in the league match against Thames Ditton last weekend. 2021 is his first year playing for ACC.

Yasir opened the inning and hit an excellent 61 which helped ACC reach a defendable total.

It also took Yasir to second place in the list of ACC run scorers for this season. So far, he has scored 419 runs at an average of 32 and is our Adder of the Week.

2nd XI Skipper Antony Starnes said:

"A really great batting performance from Yasir. Very positive and was great to see him make the step up. Set us for a nice total shame about the final game result! Hopefully he can sort out his running before the weekend!"

And Yasir said:

"It feels nice to be Adder of the Week but same time would have been better if we won the match. Everyone played good and gave their best and I enjoyed my first game for 2nd XI. Thank you to the skipper for believing in me. I am loving my first season for Addiscombe and a big thanks to Vinay who provided me opportunity as a opening batsman and since every things has worked well for me."

Also, we need to mention the other very strong contender for Adder of the Week who was Raminder Chima who hit a brilliant 78 not out to guide the 4th XI to a great win by 10 wickets. Raminder (who was Adder of the Week 2 weeks ago) hit ten 4s and three 6s and put on an unbeaten partnership with 4s skipper Vinay Malhotra (52*) of 151.

Well played Raminder and Vinay!
