Some weeks ago, the selection committee of the Pakistan Amateur Basketball Federation (PABBF) named 21 players for the training camp in preparation for the 11th South Asian Games to be held in Dhaka (Bangladesh) from January 29 to February 8, 2010. The players were selected after watching their performance in the 48th National Basketball Championship, ended in Lahore some days before. This move allows Pakistan to come back to international competitions, more almost five years after its last appearence. The last time the National Basketball Team took part in an international event was the first Islamic Solidarity Games in 2005 in Saudi Arabia. A large majority of the selected players was not even part of that team. And the last Pakistani participation to South Asian Games dates back to 1995, when the regional showpiece was held in Chennai (India). The coaching staff, the dates and venue for the training camp are yet to be decided. The announcement was made by the PABBF Secretary Col (retd) Naseem Butt, who is also the chairman of the Selection Committee, formed also by Col Aftab, Rasheed Butt and Khawaja Ghulam Dastagir.

Pakistan is best known in the sporting world for producing world class cricketers but hoops has a pulse in the central Asian country and that will be evident on Tuesday when The Falcons Basketball Academy is launched at the Government Dennys Higher Secondary School.
The FBA is the brainchild of its director, Syed Saeed-ul-Hasan, who is also the president of the Falcons Basketball Club, one of the oldest of the Rawalpindi Division.
The main aim of the academy is to groom the talent at a very early age under the guidance of experienced coaches.
"My friends and I feel that the interest in the sport is dying among the young breed and we want to renew the passion in them by providing them with a place where they canlearn the skills of basketball in a healthy atmosphere," said Syed.
Pakistan's first ever academy of its kind will be inaugurated by Director General Pakistan Sports Board Brig Arif Mahmud Siddiqi at a simple ceremony.

Pakistan tasted victory in an international basketball tournament for the first time in almost 10 years when they beat Tajikistan 73-51 in the first Islamic Solidarity Games in the Saudi Arabian city of Madina.
The men in green made no impression in their first three matches of the tournament when they went down to powerful Tunisia, Algeria and Libya without putting up a fight.
Playing their final match of the league stages, the inexperienced Pakistan team showed a lot determination at the courts of the Prince Mohammad bin Abdul Aziz Sports City. Mir Alam Khan, Sher Bahadur and Khalid Ahmed were the stars of the Pakistan win.
Pakistan team manager Lt Col Naseem Butt was proud of his team's achievement. "The boys really played well today," he said. "Now you can see what match practice can do for the moral of an inexperienced team."
"We had come into the tournament with a bunch of totally new players, who had not even played a single international match in their careers. But, after playing three matches against powerful opponents, our players felt at home today and played much stronger in both offence and defence," a beaming Butt added.
