Islamabad, November 14, 2022 (PPI-OT):President of Pakistan Federation Baseball Syed Fakhar Ali Shah participated in the meeting chaired by MNA Malik Nawab Sher Waseer on the call of National Assembly standing committee for Inter-Provincial Coordination Committee Sports (IPC). Secretary Sports Nouman Islam, Director Admin PSB Mansoor Ahmed Khan, Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali Bhindar, Wajiha Qamar, Shahida Rehmani and other members were also present.
In the meeting, questions were asked from the baseball federation about their past efforts and performance, obstacles in the way of development. In this regard, Syed Fakhar Ali Shah while giving a full briefing said that our most important problem is the non-availability of grounds. Baseball grounds should be given immediately on the land allocated for the sports department grounds and should be handed over to Pakistan Federation Baseball to keep it active and get permanent benefits.
In this regard, Malik Nawab Sher Waseer instructed the Secretary Sports to immediately start the renovation work of the only baseball ground available in Islamabad and update it. And it should not be allocated only for baseball, Rather, as a reward for the hard work and services of the federation, this ground should be named after the late Syed Khawar Shah the founder of Baseball game in Pakistan.
Fakhar Ali Shah thanked the IPC and requested that Since, Pakistan is organizing the 15th West Asia Baseball Cup in Islamabad at the end of January, therefore, the Pakistan Sports Board Cooperate with us. In this regard, Syed Fakhar Ali Shah said in a conversation with the media that after listening to our performance and legitimate demands, the committee has assured the cooperation and renovation of the baseball ground in Islamabad. It has been assured to start the work soon.
