Vilander Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) https://www.newslaundry.com/2023/06/27/cities-sidelined-the-pakistan-dilemma-how-bccis-playing-politics-in-the-world-cup-schedule The World Cup semifinals will be played at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens and Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai had also hosted the final of the 2011 World Cup, in which an MS Dhoni-led India beat Sri Lanka to end a 28-year-old title drought, while Kolkata hosted the summit showdown between Australia and England in the 1987 edition. "What this means is the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai – a favourite until the very last hour – has lost out on hosting the showpiece semifinal this time around. A BCCI insider told this writer the weather is being offered as an excuse, because “the retreating monsoon is a serious threat in Chennai during that time of the year”. Another big loser is Punjab’s Mohali Stadium, which hosted the iconic India vs Pakistan semifinal, witnessed by the prime ministers of both countries, during the 2011 World Cup. But there is a common factor between both these venues. Both are located in states governed by anti-BJP parties. While MK Stalin refuses to play ball with the BJP at the centre, Punjab’s Aam Aadmi Party government has been at loggerheads with the Modi government ever since it came to power in Punjab and, for that matter, Delhi. " " In the case of Bengal, it has been reliably learned that Jay Shah played a key role in ensuring that Kolkata got one of the semis. Is it also because his father, union home minister Amit Shah, has special interest in the politics of the state? Another important state being ignored is Madhya Pradesh, where the state cricket body is controlled by civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. And we’ve heard talks of a political rift between Scindia and local BJP leaders ahead of the assembly election in the state. Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, officially the Arun Jaitley Stadium, has also got a raw deal with no high-flying games allotted to this capital city venue. The AAP-governed capital will host five games, all of a low-key nature, including India’s most inconsequential game against Afghanistan. Perhaps another factor in sidelining Delhi is the ongoing internal fight between the Delhi & District Cricket Association’s president Rohan Jaitley and its secretary Siddharth Verma. Rohan, the son of former finance minister Arun Jaitley, is accused of sexual harassment, with the complainant filing her complaint with BCCI top bosses including secretary Jay Shah, president Roger Binny and National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman.

Number Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Problem with these propaganda websites is that they are run by unemployable trashes of jouralism industry with IQ level below freeing point of water. Chepauk not getting SF is due to MK Stalin. Delhi stadium not getting marquee matches is due to AAP. Abe hutiye writer, at least bother to look up who is the DDCA president. Himachal has Cong govt, it still got many big games. Edited October 28, 2023 by Number Vilander, AuxiliA, coffee_rules and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
