Description
The ancient game of kho kho is enjoying a resurgence in India, with organisers of the first international tournament hoping their efforts will secure the sport's place in the Olympics.
"My elder sister played the sport, but was not able to pursue her dreams," Indian women's team player Nasreen Shaikh, 26, tells AFP. "We have crossed the first barrier of playing in a World Cup. The next big step would be entry into the Olympics." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
