About Mizoram Super League
One of India’s few states with a distinct ‘culture’ of basketball, Mizoram launched India’s first basketball league in 2014. Being a truly professional league, all players are contracted and clubs are allowed to recruit foreign players as well as those from other Indian states. Over the years, the league has featured numerous India stars like Vishesh Bhriguvanshi, Amritpal Singh, Amjyot Singh, Pratham Singh, Palpreet Singh and Aravind Annadurai, apart from dozens of local talent - notably Mizoram’s only two international players H Laldinsanga and Lalrina Renthlei.
