Rasool brings laurels

Pervez Rasool, the outstanding cricketer from J&K has brought laurels to the State for being the first sportsman who will represent Indian team in a One-Day International Cricket. The 25-year old Rasool from Bijbehara is a spin bowler and has won appreciation of the selectors in his performance. We are confident that this talented cricketer will win name and fame as the most outstanding sportsman from the State.
Our youth have enormous potential to be on top in different sports. But the problem is that they do not have proper exposure and facilities. The selection of players and athletes should be broad based so that the youth of rural areas also get a chance of demonstrating their talent. Our towns and villages are not yet equipped with proper infrastructure that would become a source of inspiration for our youth. We do not have playing grounds and coaches and the rest of wherewithal so that the promising youth could develop their faculty and grow into outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen. Pervez Rasool has worked hard with untiring dedication to attain perfection in the game which he loves so much. He will be a source of inspiration for the entire State and younger generation will try to emulate him once he establishes his position in the Indian Cricket team. We congratulate him and wish him great and remarkable success in winning matches for the country.
