Aqeel Ansari

Former India midfielder Aqeel Ansari was glad to see kids battle it out in the muck and display their skills on a flooded football field at the Azad Maidan on Thursday. Ansari was present to watch his son Athar, skipper of St Mary’s SSC School [Mazgaon] play against St Stanislaus [Bandra] during the Mumbai Schools Sports Association U-16 Division I match. "The kids should learn to play in tough conditions like this. It helps to build their strength and stamina," Ansari told mid-day.
