The Israel Cricket Association has announced that India A will play three one-day matches in Israel as part of the country’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
The ICA confirmed that the Indian board had agreed to the tour during which what was described as a “full-strength A side” will play against an Invitational XI featuring players from a number of countries, including Adam Bacher.
Seven overseas cricketers are reported to have accepted the invitations and the squad will be supplemented by local players.
Odd that India, a country which voted against the UN partition plan which led to the creation of Israel, is sending a cricket team over to celebrate it's 60th anniversary.
Muzher,
It's been 60 years since that vote. Quite a bit has changed in that time.I, for one, think it's great. International cricket increases understanding and familiarity between peoples. A bit of knowledge and goodwill goes a very long way in this world.
