Chandigarh, April 21

Local cricketer Paras has been selected for advance cricket coaching at the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore, starting from May 8.

Paras was the vice-captain of Chandigarh’s U-19 team wherein he scored 143 runs and took eight wickets in four matches. He also excelled with both bat and ball in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy in Delhi last year. He played against teams like Himachal, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat in the Elite B group. Apart from one abandoned match, Paras scored 71 runs and clinched four wickets in three matches.

In the U-19 UTCA domestic matches, Paras captained Rock Zone and took 13 wickets in five league matches and amassed a total of 325 runs, including a century. He is a student of DAV, Sector 7, and is undergoing training under coach Nagesh Gupta.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
