'Missing' cricketer safe in London

Ambala Aug. 23. Parvesh Rani, one of the five "missing" women cricketers who went on a tour of England, is safe in London.

``Ravi Sharma (owner of the Jalandhar-based travel agency that had allegedly sponsored the cricket tour) informed over phone of Parvesh's well being,'' the cricketer's brother Madhusudan said today.

He said that Mr. Sharma had assured him that Parvesh would be back in India by September 5.

Mr. Madhusudan, however, did not disclose the details of his discussions.

He said he accompanied his sister till the Amritsar airport on August 9. At that time, Mr. Sharma had told him that Parvesh and the British High Commission had granted other women cricketers the visa for six months but later it was revealed that the visa was only for 21 days.

He said that his sister had called him up on August 12 when she told him that she was doing well in London.

Mr. Madhusudan said he became aware of the "disappearance" of five women cricketers through newspapers. — PTI
