Lahore, April 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Pakistan baseball team will participate in the 19th Asian Games to be held in China in September 2022, but no training camp has been organized for the preparation of the team. The President of Pakistan Federation Baseball Syed Fakhar Ali Shah said that in this regard we had written a letter to Col. (R) Asif Zaman the Director General of Pakistan Sports Board in February 2022 that the camp of Pakistan Baseball Team should be set up in Pakistan Sports Complex Islamabad from March 15, 2022. So far, we have not received any approval from the Sports Board.

According to Syed Fakhar Shah, today again we have sent a reminder to the Director General of Pakistan Sports Board that the Sports Board has started training camps for other sports therefore the camp of Pakistan Baseball team should be set up as soon as possible. Because of the long delay in setting up the camp, not only the baseball game is being affected but also the results of the Asian Games. According to the Baseball Federation of Asia, the top 6 teams in Asia are participating in these games. World No. 1 and Olympic champion Japan, World No. 2 Taiwan and World No. 3 Korea are also participating in these games while only Pakistan baseball team from South Asian region is participating in these games.

Apart from this, the training camps of the baseball teams participating in these games have also been started under the supervision of the sports boards of these countries while the camp of Pakistan baseball team has not started yet. Syed Fakhar Shah hoped that the Sports Board would soon approve the training camp of Pakistan Baseball Team and Pakistan team would participate in these games with full readiness.
