Queen's Baton leaves for Namibia

The Commonwealth Games organising committee representative, Shivansh Bratnagar has said the worldwide relay of the Queen's Baton is a reminder to competing countries to get ready for the event.

The Baton left Botswana yesterday for Namibia in its tour of all the Commonwealth countries. "The top part of the Baton carries Queen Elizabeth II message to the 71 participating nations of the Commonwealth. The mid-section, which is the torch changes colour with every country it enters," Bratnagar said.

He hailed Botswana for successfully hosting the Baton. He said he was amazed at the commitment displayed by the youth to cricket in Botswana. "It was amazing to see children as young as eight years-old playing cricket with great enthusiasm. It was also motivating to watch the way performances by school children were well organised," he said. The Commonwealth Games take place in New Delhi, India in October this year.
