The former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin has said that along with cricket, other sports too need encouragement and support from all quarters. He has called upon the corporate houses and other organisations to encourage all sportspersons through sponsorship.
He was speaking to media persons after inaugurating the ITF Dharwad Men’s World Tennis Tournament at the Rajadhyaksha Pavilion Courts of the Dharwad District Lawn Tennis Association in Dharwad on Tuesday.
The former cricketer said that woman sportspersons required more support and encouragement in the form of financial assistance, facilities and coaching, among others, as the requisite support will help them excel in various sports events.
