Hundred orphaned kids to watch Lanka-India Test
The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has decided to invite 100 orphaned children to watch the India-Sri Lanka Test Match in Kanpur starting on the 24th of November - free of charge, in line with a suggestion by cricket star Sachin Tendulkar.
"Tendulkar had pointed out that stadiums are not fully occupied during Test Matches, so school children can come here and watch the matches free of cost. In this way, they will become interested in the game," UPCA Director Jyoti Vajpayee said on Sunday.
"After discussions, it was decided that 50 children from a Muslim orphanage will watch the match on the first day. Another 50 from a Hindu orphanage will come to watch on the second day," Vajpayee said.
