Seniors World Cup Proposal
Saturday, May 29, 2010
Fawad Ijaz Khan, Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association (PVCA) Chairman, met Chief Executive of ICC Haroon Lorgat in Dubai at the ICC headquarters recently to discuss a plan to organise a Seniors Cricket World Cup soon.
Fawad informed Lorgat that besides Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka which have senior teams, the PVCA were facing problems in convincing other Test playing countries to raise similar squads.
Lorgat then assured Fawad that he will discuss this proposal in the next ICC meeting and will convince the heads of other Test playing countries to raise senior cricket teams for such a World Cup, to be organised by PVCA in collaboration with Board for Veterans Cricket in India.
Fawad also informed Lorgat that the proposed Seniors World Cup can be played in Pakistan and India or Dubai and Abu Dhabi sometimes at the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012. The format of World Cup can be of 40 overs each or even T20.
Lorgat assured full co-operation to PVCA for the organisation of this event and agreed to provide ICC Elite Panel umpires for this World Cup.
Lorgat was also briefed about the activities of PVCA in Pakistan by Fawad during the last 12 years.—Agencies
