The incredible saga of success that the six editions of ISCL have scripted is an efflorescence of our venerated Founder-Manager’s vision that the seamless integration of sports into the fabric of our progressive educational framework can not only nurture talent but also foster bonds that can transcend boundaries and barriers, thereby providing an outstanding platform where a shared commitment to excellence, mutual respect, camaraderie, determination and resilience are celebrated.

We shall be forever indebted to Sir for conceptualising this seminal tournament and helping it go from strength to strength. In the seventh edition of this international sports festival, teams from around 16 countries will be participating. Sir’s charismatic leadership, resourcefulness, guidance and motivation have enabled us at City Montessori School, Kanpur Road, to impeccably host an event of such magnitude and grandeur as the ISCL: a trailblazing mega event that has redefined sports as a vehicle of empowerment and world unity.

As we prepare to live Sir’s dream, we seek his blessings so that we can set higher benchmarks of excellence and sportsmanship. We are sure that every scintillating display of prowess and vigour in this celebration of talent, in fact, every moment of this forthcoming iconic tournament, including celebratory victories and heartbreaking but spiritually empowering defeats, will echo and manifest his dauntless and indomitable spirit.

Dr Gandhi is now a part of the eternal cosmic energy and when this divine benediction meets sincere human endeavour, the results are bound to be phenomenal.

We sincerely invite you all to join us in making this much-loved tournament a paradigm of cricketing excellence and widen its ambit, reach and appeal, as that is the best way we can pay our tribute to the architect of this cricketing extravaganza and a lodestar for humanity.
