Palestine set to compete in West Asia Baseball Cup

ISLAMABAD: Palestine are all set to compete in the West Asia Baseball Cup, which is being hosted by Pakistan.

The six-nation tournament is scheduled to be held from January 27 to February 1 at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad.

Besides the hosts and Palestine, the other competing teams are Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

The Pakistan Federation Baseball in collaboration with Dubai-based Baseball United, the first-ever professional baseball league created to serve South Asia and the Middle East, is organizing the tournament.

According to Pakistan Federation Baseball President Syed Fakhar Ali Shah, all six teams have reached Islamabad.

Shah informed that it was supposed to be a seven-team tournament, but “the Indian team is still to get clearance from its government and its squad is waiting at the Wagah Border,” he said on Thursday.
