In the wake of the tragic stampede outside M Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 dead and over 75 injured during RCB’s IPL trophy celebrations, Bengaluru’s status as a cricketing hub has come under threat. The first sign of fallout is here as well, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has moved the three-match one-day series between India ‘A’ and South Africa ‘A’ from Bengaluru to Rajkot.
Why did BCCI shift matches out of Bengaluru?
Though BCCI did not officially cite any reason for the shift, the move comes amid KSCA’s administrative turmoil. The stadium, which suffered structural damage during the stampede, is also likely due for renovation. KSCA president Raghuram Bhat has maintained that the change of venue is unrelated to the June 5 tragedy, but the timing gives away the obvious reasoning. This comes just a day after KSCA secretary A Shankar and treasurer E S Jairam resigned, taking moral responsibility for the mishandling of the crowd at the RCB celebration.
