Chandigarh, September 8
The newly formed cricket advisory committee (CAC) of the Punjab Cricket Association is eyeing to revamp the sport in the state ndash; from junior to senior level.
The committee led by former Indian cricketer Bhupinder Singh (Senior) also includes former India international Reetinder Singh Sodhi and Harpreet Kaur.
Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Sodhi, who played 18 ODIs for India, said Punjab cricket had a bright future. “Things have been streamlined to some extent. We have a panel of professional coaches and our support staff are equally good in their field,” said Sodhi.
“We are not only eyeing the Ranji Trophy, but are also trying to have a desired output in the junior circuit,” he said.
On his appointment in the CAC, Sodhi said he’s excited to play the new role. “I have been part of cricket for so many years and this is completely a new role. It’s a huge responsibility to which I am completely committed. It’s payback time and I will give my best.”
Sodhi also appreciated PCA president Rajinder Gupta. “He is keen on promoting cricket,” said Sodhi. “Offering desired pay packages will not only bring accountability but will also inspire everyone to perform at their best.”
“Gupta comes in with a rich experience and his contribution will surely improve cricket at the district level,” said Sodhi. — TNS
