ACC Trophy: 'Khel' at Dhulikhel
From Al-Amin
When the organisers of the Second Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Trophy
declared the day as time out for cricket, four star cricketers of the
yesteryears form different corners of the world grouped together
perhaps to relish the sweet memories of the past.
The four living legends - West Indies opener Gordon Greenidge,
former Indian captain Gundappa Viswanath, former Pakistan captain
Mushtaq Mohammed and former Indian Test star Abid Ali - took the
merry ride at Dhulikhel, one of the major tourist attractions of
Nepal.
Although the purpose of the mysterious tour remained undisclosed, the
quartet however returned to base, the Soaltee Hotel, in time to
comply with their respective jobs.
Gordon, coach of the Bangladesh team, took only five minutes to get
ready before leaving with his boys for the afternoon practice session.
Viswanath, who came to Kathmandu in the capacity of match referee,
however stayed back.
Mushtaq, currently coach of the UAE, rushed to join the team's
practice. So did Abid Ali, who is the coach of the Maldives.
