ODI World Cup: BCCI creates event sub-committees; hosting associations will meet in Delhi. On Thursday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hosted a meeting in New Delhi for all hosting associations of the ODI World Cup.
The BCCI top brass met with representatives from all ten state units in Mumbai on June 26, on the eve of announcing the World Cup fixtures, and in a communique to the state units on Tuesday, Board secretary Jay Shah has called for a meeting in the national capital for further discussions ahead of the big-ticket event.
“It was great meeting you recently in Mumbai to discuss various issues concerning the ICC World Cup 2023, which will be held in India this year.” I believe it is in everyone’s best interests for us to get together again to compare notes and discuss any issues that need to be resolved. As a result, you are thus invited to attend a meeting of the World Cup staging associations on July 27 at 3 p.m. in Delhi,” Shah wrote in an email to state units obtained by Sportstar.
The Board of Directors has also established working groups for the event. The office-bearers were tasked with forming sub-committees for the ICC event at its Special General Meeting in Ahmedabad ahead of the IPL final in May. As a result, two subcommittees have been constituted to oversee venue oversight and the distribution of infrastructure subsidies. President Roger Binny, secretary Jay Shah, treasurer Ashish Sehlar, vice-president Rajeev Shukla, and joint secretary Devajit Saikia have been tasked with managing the 12 locations, including the warm-up games in Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram.
IPL chairman Arun Dhumal, former treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry, Prabhtej Bhatia, and Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary A Shankar make up the infrastructure subsidies committee. It will also include the five office-bearers.
President Binny will be in charge of Ahmedabad and Chennai, while Shah will be in charge of Delhi and Dharamshala. Treasurer Ashish Sehlar will be in charge of Pune, Lucknow, and Guwahati, while Rajeev Shukla will be in charge of Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The joint secretary, Devajit Saikia, would be in charge of Mumbai, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram.
Warm-up matches will take place from September 29 to October 3, before the main event kicks up on October 5 in Ahmedabad.
