PFB to set up baseball academies in Sindh

LAHORE (APP): Pakistan Federation Baseball (PFB) President Syed Fakhar Ali Shah has announced the establishment of baseball academies in Sindh.

The announcement came during a meeting with PFB senior vice president today (Monday) in Lahore.

The decision was made in order to provide a platform for promising players to polish their skills and represent Pakistan at the international stage.

Talking to the national news agency, PFB president said that the federation had previously established academies in Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

He further said, “Continuing its mission, the Pakistan Federation Baseball will establish such academies in Sindh also in the near future.”

Fakhar Ali Shah said, “Until coronavirus pandemic ends, we will be starting work to select the cities in Sindh for setting up baseball academies under the watchful eyes of experienced national coaches.”

According to Sindh Baseball Association president, Mohammad Mohsin Khan, the federation has participated in six international events from our own resources, adding that the government hasn’t issued any funds in this regard.

“Due to the non-availability of government funds for sports, the federation will be setting up baseball academies in Sindh with the personal resources of PFB president.”

“We have also decided to name Syed Fakhar Shah as the patron of Sindh baseball academies,” he added. Mohammad Mohsin will act as chairman and Aisha Irum will be the women wing in-charge of the academies.
