In a proud moment for Sikkim, Anjan Khanal and Dewakar Sewa have become the first-ever manual scorers from the state to have cleared the BCCI Manual Scoring Course and Exam 2023.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had organized a three-day manual scoring course and exam from July 31 to August 3 in Guwahati, Assam.

A total of 30 candidates from six Northeastern states attended the course, among which only six were able to clear the examination, including Anjan Khanal and Dewakar Sewa from Sikkim.

Both Anjan Khanal and Dewakar Sewa have been serving the Sikkim Cricket Association as manual and digital scorers since 2019.

With their recent qualification, they are now authorized to record scores for all domestic cricket matches in India.

The Sikkim Cricket Association, extending a congratulatory message to both on the achievement, wrote, “Their dedication, hard work and commitment to cricket scoring have brought honour to our association and to the entire State of Sikkim. This achievement is a testament to the talent and dedication present within the Sikkim Cricket Association, and we look forward to witnessing Anjan Khanal and Dewakar Sewa’s continued success as they embark on this new chapter in their scoring careers.”

The association, further highlighting the crucial role a manual scorer plays, said, “In international matches, manual scoring remains the ultimate reference point, overriding digital systems in case of any doubts or disputes. Referees and officials rely on the accuracy of manual scores.”
