more-inKekoo Nicholson, president of the Cricket Club of India (CCI), passed away on Monday morning at the Global Hospitals. A patron of billiards and snooker, Kekoo took personal interest in the development of the Wilson Jones Billiards Room at the CCI, conduct of tournaments and showed a great interest for other sports. Paying tributes to Kekoo, cue sport maestro Geet Sethi said, “Kekoo was a huge lover of all sport, but his first love was billiards and snooker. Later, of course, he became a consistent sponsor of billiards and snooker tournaments in India. It’s a loss to our entire community, and perhaps snooker in India has lost its biggest supporter.”
