India will host the inaugural Commonwealth Basketball Championship in July 2010, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has announced.
FIBA President Bob Elphinston, announcing this at a glittering function here yesterday, said, "the tournament, with top eight commonwealth teams, is going to be a wonderful opportunity for the Indian basketball to grow further." "With this championship tournament the Commonwealth nations will get a very good opportunity to improve their performance by competing with each other," Elphinston added. Besides India, England, Nigeria, Canada and New Zealand are the probable participants in the tournament to be held just before the Delhi Commonwealth Games scheduled in October that year. "At a time, when Basketball is not in 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, this tournament is the best possible thing India could have got," Harish Sharma, Secretary General of Basketball Federation of India (BFI) said. "We will try to organise this tournament in best possible manner. As the Indian government has put basketball under special category, we will have no problem in providing the best facilities, including quality stadiums," Sharma, who is also the President of Commonwealth Basketball Commission, added. The BFI, after consultation with the FIBA, will finalise the venue for the tournament later Source: Press Trust Of India 07/July/20008
