    Chandigarh: Hema Malini has extended her full support to Women's Baseball Federation of India (WBFI). The film actress-turned-politician has also accepted the post of chief patron of the federation on Sunday.

    WBFI chairman Deepak Joshi echoed the sentiments of Hema Malini that there was a need to change the mindset of society towards women

    The organisers are confident that with Hema Malini joining WBFI, the sport would give a boost to women across all sports disciplines, all which have been facing neglect so far.

    The WBFI has started the first ever Baseball Academy for providing training to players from March 14 in Chandigarh. The WBFI has branched out of the Baseball Federation of India (BFI).
