This 47 secs Cricket Video, a Brilliant Example for Sportsmanship! Is it not a time for Chief Vidura Officer & Corporatesportsmanship award?
Dear Students and Friends
Before reading this post, please watch below 47 secs Video of Nepal vs. Ireland (14 February 2022, Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Muscat, Oman Quadrangular T20 Series clash)
During the 19th over of the match, wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh could have easily dismissed Ireland all-rounder Andy McBrine while McBrine was taking a quick single. However, Aasif Sheikh decided to keep the spirit of the game intact. This little gesture is being lauded by fans and the cricket fraternity. Nepal captain Sandeep Lamichhane was the one who asked Sheikh to not run out McBrine. Nepal might have lost the match, but they won the cricket world’s heart that day. (firstpost.com).
What is the true definition of Sportsmanship? As per Nathan Jamail, bestselling author, the following 4 attributes define the sportsmanship- Not be offended by others success, Assume no one cheats, Strive to learn from others success and not resent it. The team is more important than the individuals.
How much of the corporate and Educational world practices this philosophy? While we give ranks for Highest revenue, Sustainability, Net Profit, University/Institutional Ranking, did you ever announce Corporatesportsmanship/Educationsportsmanship awards?
Can we think of ranking for best cooperation between similar brands in business? How much are they helping each other for ethical business practices? How are they helping each other without grabbing each other's genuine efforts?
Can we think of ranking between Educational institutions who help each other?
Can we think of Regionalsportsmanship awards in a particular geography to promote cooperation among countries?

Students learn professional ethics in their curriculum. But we give least priority to practice. I am sure it is mostly a non-credit course in many educational institutions across the globe! There itself we are giving differential priority to this concept. What are we messaging to the students?
Parents are also equally responsible for this. Honestly, including myself, how many of us train our Children to stand for ethics in the society. We all fear reality!?There itself we compromised our values.
