Srinagar, Apr 22: The Legend School of Education, Kanitar Sadrabal conducted the annual trekking event for girls in which about 150 girls students participated to climb Zabarwan Hills. The event was flagged off by Sheikh Tulal, Manager Indoor Sports Stadium. The technical support was pro- vided by Riyaz Wani, Gen- eral Secretary (KASTPA) and Junaid Ahmad Beigh, mountaineering expert. Tulal hailed the school for taking keen interest in games and sports activities. The school authorities have further decided to conduct more such activities in future. Kingston, Apr 22: Half- centuries by Roston Chase and Shane Dowrich engi- neered a West Indies revival in reaching 244 for seven at stumps against Pakistan on the opening day of the first Test at Sabina Park. Coming together imme- diately after lunch when opener Kieran Powell became Mohammad Amir's third wicket with the innings in tatters at 71 for five, Chase batted with confidence and fluency for a top score of 63. His sixth-wicket part- nership with Dowrich was worth 118 runs, the wicket- keeper-batsman enhancing his reputation with a pol- ished 56, the pair making a mockery of the West Indies' earlier struggles after they were put in to bat. On the same ground where an unbeaten hundred in just his second Test match saved the West Indies from defeat against India a year earlier, Chase looked at ease against all bowlers although his pen- chant for the uncontrolled hook resulted in a couple of narrow escapes. Yet it was Yasir Shah who removed both him and Dowrich off successive deliveries in the final session. Made to look ordinary by the pair's positive play through the afternoon, the leg-spinner had the last laugh when he lured Chase into the lofted stroke and Wahab Riaz held an out- standing catch running back from mid-off almost to the boundary rope. Dow- rich was then completely deceived and bowled by the next delivery. At 189 for seven, Pakistan's hopes of dismissing the West Indies on the opening day were revived, only for captain Jason Holder (30 not out) and specialist spinner Devendra Bishoo (23 not out) to frustrate the visitors with an enterpris- ing unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 55. Earlier, Mohammad Abbas had a dream start to his Test career, having Kraigg Brathwaite caught at second slip by Younis Khan without scoring with his second delivery sharing the new ball with Amir. It was an important early breakthrough as the opener had made history in their last Test match meeting with unbeaten scores of 142 and 60 that earned the Carib- bean side a five- wicket win in Sharjah last November at the end of an otherwise miserable tour of the United Arab Emirates. West Indies played two debutants in the middle- order in the pair of Guya- nese left-handers Shim- ron Hetmyer and Vishaul Singh, and Pakistan pressed the advantage even further with Aamir claiming his first wickets for three Test matches. Maintaining a nagging accuracy, the left-arm fast bowler bowled both Hetmy- er and Shai Hope, scattering the stumps with deliveries that jagged in sharply off a good length. Pakistan's third seamer in their bowling armoury, Riaz, then removed Singh via a fine diving catch by Azhar Ali at backward square-leg to have the home side tot- tering at that point at 53 for four. West Indies opted to omit Jermaine Blackwood from their final eleven to accom- modate the debutants in the batting line-up, mean- ing there was no Jamaican in the home side for a Test match at Sabina Park for the first time since 1997 when, incidentally, the opponents were also Pakistan. Notwithstanding his impressive entry to senior international cricket during the limited-over leg of the tour, the visitors resisted the temptation to include the uncapped Shadab Khan in their team as a second spinner in support of Shah, choosing instead to intro- duce 27-year-old Abbas to Test cricket. AFP ADGP Armed congratulates Bhanu Partap Singh Jammu, Apr 22: ADGP Armed J&K L Mohanti today congratulated Bahnu Pratap Singh of J&K Police for win- ning gold medal for the State in the 6th Pars Cup Iran. Bhanu Pratap Singh Wushu player of J&K Police bagged gold medal for the State in the 6th Pars Cup held at Iran from April 13th to 17th.

On the occasion, Mohanti also congratulated the coaches and players of different sports teams of J&K Police for their outstanding performance in their respective Games. Anantnag, Apr 22: In continuation of their efforts to encourage the phys- ically challenged youth of the state, the army has sponsored the 'Jammu and Kashmir State Paralympic Cricket Team' which is going to participate in the second Mini National T20 Cricket Tournament commencing on 24 April in Ranchi, Jharkhand under the Sadhbhavana scheme. Army located at Aishmuqam organized the flagging off ceremony on Friday for the team consisting of physically challenged players from all across the Valley. On the occasion, a senior Army officer said "We as individuals also have a lot to learn from these young souls who have stood against all odds.

The Army has sponsored the sports kits, air tickets, food and lodging for the entire team at the venue as well as nominated a team manager during the course of the tournament. The Jammu and Kashmir Paralympics cricket team members thanked the Army for providing them with such a huge platform. “We all are over- whelmed to have such help extended to us by the Army.
