Indian Cricket Board President Sharad Pawar Plans To See World Cup Super 8 Matches

by Rohit Bhandiye

BCCI President Sharad Pawar is planning to visit the West Indies in the first week of April to watch a couple of Super 8 series games.

"He could not make it to Mumbai and meet the team as his flight got delayed in Delhi and he cancelled his scheduled brief visit in order to be present for the Union Budget today. But he has plans to go in April to the World Cup's Super 8 series and watch a couple of games," a BCCI source said.

"He's extended his best wishes to the team," the source added.

India is expected to make it to the Super 8 stage from Group B which includes Sri Lanka, Bermuda and Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, some Board officials, including Secretary Niranjan Shah, had a meeting with the team and spoke to them about the International Cricket Council's Code of Conduct and other related matters.

The need for being careful in attending to telephone calls from unknown persons was impressed upon the team members especially in the light of the recent controversial Marlon Samuels episode.

"The team members were also advised about the need for talking to the media as per the International Cricket Council's guidelines. The players, however, have been told not to talk exclusively to media organisations with whom they may have special arrangements," the source said.

The Indian team left for West Indies in the early hours of Thursday.
