KIB sponsors Kuwaiti Jet Ski champ Abdullah Al-Fadel
Bank congratulates young champion in winning 3rd place Bangladesh recall Rubel for NZ tour
KUWAIT CITY, Dec 6: In a continuation of the Bank’s ongoing efforts to support local talents across all areas, Kuwait International Bank (KIB) sponsored Kuwaiti national Jet Ski champion, Abdullah AlFadel, who recently took part in the King’s Cup World Jet Ski Championship in Thailand, competing against international contenders from more than 30 nations.
On his part, Manager of the Corporate Communications Unit at KIB, Nawaf Najia, congratulated the young champion on winning third place, adding: “Our sponsorship stems from our strong belief in AlFadel’s talents and abilities, and we are supremely confident that he will continue to garner titles and awards that will raise Kuwait’s profile in this arena both regionally and internationally. At KIB we are always committed to supporting social initiatives of all kinds, and we are especially focused on supporting youth initiatives that aim to foster a strong, healthy and well-prepared future generation.” MUMBAI, Dec 6, (AFP): England are bidding to keep the India series alive with victory in this week’s fourth Test in Mumbai but defeat will raise further questions about Alastair Cook’s future as captain.
The visitors must win at the Wankhede Stadium to stop top-ranked India from sealing the five-Test series with a match to spare following two consecutive defeats.

Mohali last week to take an unbeatable 2-0 series lead after victory in Viskhapatnam followed a draw in the first Test at Rajkot.
Anything less than a victory for England would see India exact revenge for their 2012 home series loss to Cook’s men and add to uncertainty surrounding the English skipper.
His future as captain has been in doubt since he admitted just before the tour that he could quit at the end of the Test series because he was finding it hard to be apart from his family for long periods.
After becoming a father for a second time last month, the 31-year-old left-handed opener said he found the long England tours difficult, while insisting he remained deeply proud of captaining his country.
Despite England’s travails in India, coach Trevor Bayliss said he expected Cook to be in charge for the Ashes tour at the end of 2017.
Bangladesh have recalled paceman Rubel Hossain for injured fast bowler Mohammad Shahid in their squad for the forthcoming tour of New Zealand, a team official said on Tuesday.
Rubel last played for the national team during the home series against Afghanistan in September, but he was left out of the ensuing series against England after struggling for form. He was also overlooked for the New Zealand tour when an initial 22-member squad was announced last month, but his strong showing in a domestic T20 tournament has prompted a change of mind by selectors.
“After a long injury break he was struggling with his form and fitness so we wanted him to get back his rhythm by playing in domestic competitions,” said selector Minhajul Abedin.
Rubel was one of the stand-out players in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League, taking 15 wickets in 12 matches, before his Rangpur Riders team were eliminated in the league phase.
