it is high Time Akabar babi be appricated by saurashtra cricket association : By Niranjan Mehta

Since 1950 Saurashtra cricket association got first time most efficient and dynamic cricket administrator In Niranjan Shah, his dedication and involvement in BCCI, did help tremendously to saurashtra cricket team as well as in general spirit of people and cricket. His involvement in creating a national level club house at Rajkot as well as generously helping local cricketer to get fair assessment of their ability and opportunity to play for India is very amazing, here one thing, I would like to bring to his attention is about Akabar khan Babi, we do not need him to introduce Mr Babi , he knows about Babi bhai as much as I know about Babi bhai but one thing, he might be too busy to notice and that one is it is very high time to value service of Akabar bhai Babi to Saurashtra Cricket Association.
In last 50 years at least saurashtra cricket association must have got at least 50-60 cricketers including myself, Atul Mehta, Dhiraj Parsana , Uday Joshi, Jashwant Bakranias Brothers, Arvind Panchasara and his three brothers, Bhupendra Mandavia, Mahendra Rajdev and list can go on and on. As well as Gujarat, Baroda and Mumbai cricket association were benefited well too later.
Since Akabar bhai belongs to saurashtra so it is very clear that he belongs to Saurashtra cricket association.
it is Saurashtra cricket association’s Moral obligation to take care of him at this stage of his life, and it is high time for his services and sacrifice to be honored and appreciated, I am interested to communicate in this matter. His unmatched scarifies for saurashtra since last 50 years, and for game of cricket is invaluable. It is more honorable if saurashtra cricket association to take special interest in this matter. due to Akabar bhai Babi's selfless service through his RSA to Great Game of cricket.

Yes i agree that it is time for the sayrashtra cricket association to appriciate Akabar Babi.

As you have mentioned, he has given his services in the sense of training and coaching many young cricketers to success. Also, he has help many cricketers to get a job alongside their cricketing careers. Due to his ability in coaching and training, he has bought saurashtra cricket to a high standard.

I dont want to say any more, however, the president of the saurashtra cricket association is aware of his services and abilities and this should be taken into serious consideration.

To the best of my knowledge, i hope that the first class saurashtra cricketers would agree with my opinions relating to Akabar Babi and his contributions to the sport of cricket.
