KARACHI: The men’s and women’s exhibition basketball matches between Sindh and Higher Educ­ation Commission (HEC) to be pla­yed here on Saturday have been post­poned due to unavoidable circumstances, organisers announced on Friday.

The matches were to be organised by the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Islamabad in collaboration with the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) to commemorate Interna­tional Day of Sports for Peace and Development.

According to Sindh Basketball Association (SOA) secretary Abdul Nasir, the matches will now be played on April 23.
