  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.

But this is not a justification for ignoring harassment or pretending that it doesn’t exist. More importantly, harassment is not normal behavior, as well as being a crime punish- able by law. Sexual harassment can take different forms, such as harassment through the Internet and social media by sending abusive and inappropriate comments, messages, images and videos via email, SMS and blogs. The International Labor Organization (ILO) this week adopted a new international treaty to combat violence and harassment in the workplace, inspired by the #MeToo movement. The treaty, which will be binding on the governments which will sign it, was approved on the last day of the annual conference of governments, employers and work- ers’ groups. This decision came as a result of many calls, studies and research about the topic. Young children enjoy a walk on Anjafa Beach in Salwa during sunrise. — Photo by Mohammad Othman/KUNA A recent study on sexual harassment at the United Nations over the past two years revealed that one third of the staff of the United Nations reported harassment during this period during their work with the UN.

Stan Wawrinka (3 singles) and Leander Paes (6 doubles) have won more Chennai titles than any other players in history. Wawrinka returns as the No. 1 seed in singles, while Paes and Marcel Granollers are the No. 2 seeds in doubles. Among the players challenging Wawrinka this week are Kevin Anderson and Benoit Paire. The second-seeded Anderson broke into the Top 10 of the Emirates ATP Rankings on Oct. 12 after reaching the US Open quarter-finals. Paire, too, enjoyed a successful US Open campaign. He advanced to the fourth round in New York City and arrives in Chennai at a career-high No. 19. Paire and Wawrinka, the 2013 Chennai doubles champions, are playing with different partners in 2016: Paire with Austin Krajicek and Wawrinka with Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Mahesh Bhupathi, a five-time champion with Paes, is teaming with first-time partner Gilles Muller.
