BCCI asks selectors to choose Indian team for Sharjah series
2 February 2001

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has asked the national selectors to meet in Mumbai on February 5 to pick the Indian team for the proposed tri-nation one-day tournament also involving Pakistan and Bangladesh from February 8 to 11 at Sharjah to raise funds for the earthquake victims in Gujarat.

Board sources told PTI on Thursday night that a letter from BCCI secretary Jaywant Lele had been issued to the selectors asking them to reach Mumbai by February 4 evening.

The sources said the Sharjah tour was likely to be cleared by the government as it was being organised for a noble cause.

The decision for conducting the tournament was taken at a meeting of the financial wing of Asian Cricket Council in Lahore yesterday evening.

The Sharjah event, if cleared by the government, would affect the conduct of the Challenger Series from February 12 to 15 in Chennai and the sources said it could be postponed.
