India to stay away from Asian championship
NEW DELHI, AUG. 20. India has decided not to take part in the
second edition of the Asian test cricket championships, ending
months of speculation. The decision was taken at a meeting
between the Prime Minister, Mr. A.B. Vajpayee, the Home Minister,
Mr. L.K. Advani and the External Affairs Minister, Mr. Jaswant
Singh, here today, official sources said.
The discussions took place on the basis of a letter the Union
Sports Minister, Ms. Uma Bharti, wrote to the Prime Minister,
suggesting India should not participate in the Asian test cricket
championship which begins in Multan on August 29 with a match
between defending champion, Pakistan and newcomer, Bangladesh.
