- Chairman Dr. Tayyab Kamali says the committee is looking ‘to create opportunities for the sport’s promotion by nurturing talent’
DUBAI: The Baseball Governing Committee has reiterated its commitment to developing the sport in the UAE, with Chairman Dr. Tayyab Kamali looking “to create opportunities for the sport’s promotion by nurturing talent,” according to a statement.
The committee, comprising Kamali, Zayed Abbas and Mubashshir Usmani, will continue to explore the sport’s development and growth opportunities in the Emirates, the statement said.
Baseball’s governance was placed under the Emirates Cricket Board by the UAE government two years ago. The Baseball Governing Committee has since then actively worked on developing the sport in the UAE, especially at the grassroots level.
“The Emirates Cricket Board remains committed to the growth of baseball and will continue to create opportunities for the sport’s promotion by nurturing talent, setting up baseball academies and by staging world-class events across the country,” Kamali said. “The committee has also explored partnership opportunities with various baseball entities from around the world. A series of exciting announcements will be made in due course.”
