We're changing how we build the team. This year, instead of picking a squad and reserves at tryouts, we'll select the TNPP — the Tamil Nadu Performance Pool. Forty players who train together through a structured campaign.
The final tournament squad gets shortlisted closer to Bharat Trophy. The result: more players get real high-performance exposure. More depth. A stronger Tamil Nadu.
