Mithun Manhas says Auqib Nabi\u2019s rise reflects region\u2019s potential <\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Oct 03: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), president Mithun Manhas on Saturday said Jammu and Kashmir has immense cricketing talent that needs to be nurtured and backed, while expressing commitment to helping cricket flourish across J&K and Ladakh.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters here on the sidelines of the five-day Irani Cup, Manhas highlighted the rise of Baramulla-born pacer Auqib Nabi, saying his journey to the Indian team reflected the hard work and talent available in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cAuqib Nabi, who comes from Baramulla, has worked very hard to reach here. BCCI has given its full support to this association, and we have promised to give further support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Manhas, as reported by the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said the BCCI wanted more players from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to emerge at the national level. \u201cWe want cricket to flourish in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and more and more players should come up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also pointed to the ongoing Irani Cup clash between Jammu and Kashmir and Rest of India in Srinagar as a reflection of the improvement in the standard of J&K cricket. \u201cYou can see the way the level of J&K cricket has gone up. There is a lot of talent here. It just needs to be nurtured, and it needs to be backed,\u201d Manhas said.<\/p>\n

The BCCI chief also praised the Indian team for its latest title triumph, saying the side\u2019s ability to handle pressure had been a key factor in its success. \u201cThe way they have performed this time is commendable. The way our team handles pressure situations, no other team in the country can do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He hailed India\u2019s batting unit, saying the openers set the tone while the middle order finished games and lauded players for stepping up at crucial moments.<\/p>\n

Manhas said the growing participation of countries in cricket is a positive development and welcomed the sport\u2019s increasing global reach. He also said the contribution of former BCCI secretary Jay Shah to Indian cricket, including the development of the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

The BCCI chief said the latest success of Indian cricket should be celebrated by fans across the country and dedicated the achievement to supporters and soldiers who, he said, pray for and support the team. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
