KARACHI -UNS : Regional Cricket Association (RCA) Karachi presidential candidate Nadeem Omar has announced plans to introduce a comprehensive Karachi Cricket Calendar to strengthen club cricket and ensure better organization across all zones.
He made the announcement while addressing a dinner hosted by Zone VII presidential candidate Muhammad Imran Khan in honour of Nadeem Omar and the successful zonal office-bearers from Zones I, III, IV, V and VI.
The event was attended by members of the Nadeem Omar panel, including Khalid Nafees, Azam Khan, Tausif Siddiqui, Khurram Ashraf, Afzal Qureshi, Musarrat Raza, Muhammad Raees, Majid Khan, Saim Ahmed Khan, Saeed Jabbar, Arif Hafeez, Shehbaz Qureshi, Zafar Ahmed, Rehan Ahmed, Tariq Hafeez, and others.
Nadeem Omar said a structured cricket calendar had become essential to improve and activate club cricket in every zone through mutual consultation and coordinated planning.
