Cricket | Tuesday | 22nd September, 2020

The Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) has made up its mind to give the push from their side to kiskstart domestic cricket back again.

CAP has offered to host two zones in bio-secure four-star hotels and provide a safe environment in their six first-class grounds, all of which are newly developed.

CAP’s written offer to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly comes on the back of the Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) offer to conduct the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament in its entirety as they have “six good-quality grounds” in the city.

There is still no clarity if the BCCI in India plans to conduct the domestic season this year, one in which the pandemic has struck.

“We can offer six first-class grounds for this season. All are ready and can house two zonal teams in 4-star hotels for 4 to 5 months,” a CAP spokesperson said.

“All six grounds are at one place, there are two more grounds, which will be completed in the next few months. We have proper infrastructure in place here. Teams will be taken care of. Like UAE we can also have a secure bio-bubble in Pondicherry,” the spokesperson added.
