Mumbai, February 17,2019: Cricket Club of India (CCI), a unit of BCCI, covered a portrait of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, to protest against the dastardly terror attack on the Central Reserve Police Force convoy in Pulwama.
The CCI is home to the iconic Brabourne Stadium and entire premises adorn portraits of the greatest cricketers from all nations.
Imran's potrait is one of them as he was a former cricket captain, who led Pakistan to 1992 World Cup victory.
As per the reports CCI president Premal Udani confirmed the development to cover Khan's portrait.
"See, CCI is a sports-club and we have photographs of past and present cricketers from all countries. We wanted to show, in our way -- displeasure -- on whatever is happening right now. It is a mark of protest. We have covered it as of now but can't say right now if we would take it down," Udani told while addressing media.
Imran has twice played for Pakistan against India at the Brabourne Stadium. He had lead Pakistan in a festival game against India in 1987. He has also played an ODI at the venue against Australia in a Nehru Cup game in 1989, where he was also declared as the man of the match.
