Mahinder Pal Singh has become the first Sikh cricketer to be selected in Pakistan's National Cricket Academy after he was picked for a fast bowlers' camp, being organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board. The 21-year old Mahinder was selected at an emerging player camp, organised by PCB in Multan in November. "It was a proud moment for me to be selected for the camp," Pal, who hails from the tribal region of Pakistan but lives in Nankana Sahib outside Lahore, told PTI. The eldest among five siblings, Pal is the first member of his community to be recognised at this level.
A total of 16 turncoats were in the poll fray -- nine fielded by the Aam Aadmi Party, three by the Congress and four by the BJP.
A beaming Amarinder Singh thanked the people of the state for their overwhelming support, saying he was committed to good governance and tackling the drug menace.
