Not possible to arrange Indo-pak series in short time: Anurag Thakur
New Delhi: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Anurag Thakur on Saturday virtually ruled out the possibility of a bilateral series with Pakistan, asserting that it will be almost impossible for that country’s cricket board to organise the event at short notice.
The two nations were due to play a limited overs series in Sri Lanka this month. But with the Indian government yet to give the green light for the series, the BCCI has been unable to reply to the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) written query on the isue.
With India due to visit Australia next month, the time window for the India-Pakistan series is fast closing down.
“It is not possible to arrange a series in such a short time. Even if we get a go ahead from the government next week, it will be virtually impossible to arrange a series in such a short time. At the same time it will have to be arranged by PCB,” Thakur told reporters here on Saturday.
The tentative dates for the series comprising three One Day Internationals (ODI) and two T20 Internationals (T20Is) are December 15-January 4 or December 19-January 4.
But with Pakistan also scheduled to tour New Zealand next month, the PCB may find it difficult to organise the series in time even if the Indian government gives its approval.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
