After all, why BCCI is not happy with the Indian team
The Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) is also swinging the swing, not to mention the UP Cricket Association (UPCA) for the third ODI in the series between India and New Zealand at any stadium in Lucknow or Kanpur. BCCI CEO Rahul Johri, who came to see the third ODI here, told first journalists that a new stadium made in Lucknow is not ready and it will be held at the Green Park stadium in Kanpur, which got the UPCA. When this thing became headlines, he sent a message that he did not say so.
The Johri will visit the Ikana stadium in Lucknow in a day or two and thereafter the official announcement will be made. However, whatever the Johri is saying, the match in Lucknow is very low because the International Cricket Council (ICC) has not yet sent NOC for this stadium. The ICC sends a note to the Cricket Association of the concerned country before the NOC. So far he has not even come to the BCCI. When the Johri visited the Ikana stadium early this month, he was not happy with it.
When the BCCI declared the program for the New Zealand series, the match on October 29 was hosted by the UPCA. It was then said that this match will be held at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium or Ikana International Stadium in Lucknow. The first match of Dilip Trophy was also held at this stadium in Lucknow and its final is also happening here. The first two matches against New Zealand will be in Mumbai (October 22) and Pune (October 25).The third match will be in Kanpur or Lucknow. Thereafter, the two teams will also have a series of three T20 Internationals.
Earlier, Dainik Jagran had said that the BCCI was not happy with the preparations of the Lucknow Stadium. A BCCI vice-officer told that the ICC has not given its consent to organize a match at this stadium. In such a situation, it is very difficult to organize matches. We can not take any risk.
Johar also praised the facilities of Holkar Stadium in Indore, but said that if the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) plans to build a much more stadium, then the BCCI will give full support to it.
