I was back on All India Radio’s Sports Scan, the half-hour bulletin of sports news, on November 6, 2011, coinciding with the opening day of the first Test in the India-West Indies cricket series. It was natural that cricket took up much of the time that the host Shivendra Chaturvedi and I devoted on the show.

It was a pleasure and privilege, being part of All India Radio’s Sports Scan on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. There were a lot of sporting events that came up for discussion.
The National Boxing Championship for Women in Bhopal came up first since MC Mary Kom’s clash with defending champion Sarita Devi in the 51kg class will hold enormous interest, given that the five-time world champion in the 46kg class, is eyeing a berth in the Indian team for the Olympic Games in London next year.
The show’s host, Mukesh Kumar, and I then discussed India’s showing in the Asian Age-Group Swimming Championship. I made a pitch for the Indians to train overseas rather than restrict themselves to camps in India with Indian coaches.
