Bengaluru Cricket Fans Concerned About Potential RCB Home Game Move
Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has highlighted concerns among Bengaluru cricket fans regarding rumors that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) may explore alternative venues for their home matches. This comes amidst broader discussions about the state of cricket infrastructure and administration in Karnataka.
KSCA Elections and Concerns
Venkatesh Prasad recently entered the administrative arena after a decade, driven by a desire to address deep-rooted issues within the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). His panel is named 'Team Game Changers.' Key issues raised include:
- Allegations of conflict of interest involving Brijesh Patel, described as a KSCA strongman.
- Concerns about proxy control within state cricket associations, hindering the emergence of strong opposition.
Infrastructure Issues
Prasad also pointed out the poor state of cricket infrastructure in tier-3 centers like Hubli and Mysore. This infrastructure deficit contributes to the discussion about RCB potentially seeking alternative venues.
Chinnaswamy Stadium Situation
The current situation at Chinnaswamy Stadium is a contributing factor in RCB's considerations. Prasad aims to address these stadium-related issues if elected to a position of power within the KSCA.
Prasad's Vision
One of Prasad's goals is to bring international cricket back to the Chinnaswamy Stadium. He believes addressing administrative and infrastructural problems is crucial for the overall health of Indian cricket.
