Cricket in Lahore going in the right direction at last: claims the secretary of LCCA Mian Javed Ali
Secretary of Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) Mian http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Javed-Ali-c66531 has claimed that the current officials of cricket in Lahore are doing a great job to promote the game in the city.
Lahore has produced a number of high class cricketers for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Mushtaq-c88743. However, the city has faced a huge decline in the quality of cricket since the last decade.
LCCA has faced a lot of criticism in past about lack of merit and liking and disliking in the selection matters. This is the prime reason that LCCA has not won Quaid e Azam Trophy since 2000-01.
However, Lahore has done well in different events organized by PCB since last one year and Javed gave the credit to the new President of LCCA Khawaja http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nadim-Ahmed-c77123 and his team which made sure that selection is based on justice and merit.
He said, “At the moment Lahore is the champion of three domestic titles at national level, including National T20 tournament, one day and U19 women title and our team performed to a good level in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy. Collective efforts are being made
under the able guidance of LCCA Chief for the revival of the game.”
Although Lahore has failed to produce cricketers of the caliber of some of the above mentioned legends, but even in this worst period, the city from central http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 has made a significant contribution in Pakistan cricket.
Current international cricketers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 hail from Lahore and all of them came through the ranks of junior cricket by representing LCCA.
Javed slammed the previous President of LCCA Amir Hayat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 Rokhri for the mismanagement in cricket but promised that the current association is dedicated to promote the game in Lahore.
“Those who were helm of affairs at LCCA for the past 22 years could not do anything for the cause of cricket and the game suffered badly for over two decades and we are making collective efforts to re-establish Lahore’s status of producing promising cricketers,”
he added.
