  • Express Investigation: Puducherry as a shortcut to cricket’s big leagues
    Dec 15 2025
    The Indian cricket system is built on the promise of merit and fierce competition. But an investigation by The Indian Express shows that, in Puducherry, that promise does not always hold.

    Private coaches there have been helping players from other states “become locals” — using paid packages, questionable documents, and fast-tracked entry into teams under the Cricket Association of Pondicherry. In this episode, Mihir Vasavda speaks with The Indian Express’ Lalith Kalidas, who led the investigation, reviewed thousands of registration records, and reported on the ground to uncover how this parallel pathway works.

    You can read the investigation here.
