Princely gesture by the Prince of Kolkata. High time all grounds under BCCI/state boards are brought under the best medical cover. The best medical facilities should not only be available for Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai etc but also for smaller cities/towns having grounds associated with the boards. Now that BCCI is making so much money this thing needs to be taken care of ASAP. Dada's heart is in the right place, with him as joint secretary of CAB and a future possible promotion with Dalmiya's backing Bengal cricket is in good hands. He has roped in Waqar and Murali to help Bengal Ranji,U-21 teams and has plans to scrap the stupid 95 points, 110 points system in Bengal junior cricket which has been stifling the state's growth as a cricketing powerhouse of India.
