Event Notes: PCB In Talks With West Indies To Host T20 Games In March

The "Pakistan Cricket Board has invited the West Indies team" to play two T20 Internationals in March on Pakistan soil and is in "constant touch" with the West Indies Cricket Board. Pakistan Super League Chair and PCB exec committee member Najam Sethi said that "the PCB is trying hard to end the drought" of int'l cricket in Pakistan and "has been in talks with several cricket boards around the world." He added that "if the West Indies agrees to tour Pakistan, the PCB will ensure that the national team play two T20 matches in Florida on the request of WICB towards the end of March when Pakistan team will be on its way to the West Indies" (DAWN, 1/1).

Wimbledon officials have said that "it is unlikely that they will address Andy Murray as 'Sir' on scoreboards at the All England Club." After a year in which he became world No. 1, won Wimbledon for a second time and claimed a second Olympic Gold Medal, Murray, 29, "became the youngest man in living memory" to be recognized with a knighthood in the new year honours. As an active tennis player has never before received the honor, "Wimbledon must decide for the first time whether to refer to a player as 'Sir.'" Murray, however, "would prefer not to be addressed that way and the tournament committee will likely follow his wishes" (LONDON TIMES, 1/2).
