Gibbs accuses BCCI of interference
The Hindu
Says the Indian board is trying to stop him from participating in Kashmir League
Former South Africa international cricketer Herschelle Gibbs accused the Indian cricket board of trying to stop him from participating in a T20 league in Azad Kashmir. Gibbs plans to play for Overseas Warriors in the six-team Kashmir Premier League, which runs from Aug. 6-17. Tensions have been high between Pakistan and India since New Delhi unilaterally changed the semi-autonomous status of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is split between Pakistan and India but claimed by both in its entirety. Pakistan has reduced diplomatic ties with India since then, vowing there will be no peace talks with India until the 2019 move under which New Delhi divided the Indian-administered part of the Muslim-majority Kashmir into two federally governed territories — Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh — is reversed by the Indian government.More Related News
