    clip_image002

    Indian team is flying directly from England to West Indies to play a four ODI match series. Surely, there was no breathing time in between the WT20 and this tour, although the Indian team has found some time to re-assemble after their early exit from WT20.

    This will be the last leg of the 2008-2009 season that started in October with Australian visiting India. The team gets a considerable break before they play in the Champions Trophy in September later this year.

  • ICC World Twenty20 Super8 [Schedule and Fixtures]

  • ‘Catch the Spirit’ – WT20 India vs Pakistan warm-up match

    clip_image002The International Cricket Council (ICC) has designated the World T20 2009 warm-up match between India and Pakistan as a ‘Catch the Spirit’ match. The match is scheduled to be played at the Oval on June 3 from 10:00 PM IST.

    ‘Catch the Spirit’ highlights the respect with which the game is played around the world and is one of the themes of the ICC’s ongoing centenary year of 2009.

    As per ICC media release, the funds raised by this match will go to support the families of the victims of the attack on the Sri Lankan team and match officials in Lahore in March.

    Though, complete details are still not available but the funds will be raised primarily through requests for contributions from spectators inside the ground, appeal for donations from the spectators outside the ground via television broadcasts and internet coverage of the match and contributions from other parties having direct or indirect interest in cricket.
    This stands out as a testimony of a great spirit that sport events can show to support a noble cause. I wish all the success to the organizers and hope spectators and cricket stakeholders across the globe contributes wholeheartedly during the match.

    The match will be broadcasted live in India on TV on Star Cricket.
