Bangalore stampede: Maharaja Trophy M Chinnaswamy is likely to move out of the stadium; Alur, Mysore Possible places | Cricket news

Bengaluru: The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament is still expected from August 11 to August 27 with the permission of the police, which can be taken out of the Minlaswamy Stadium either at the KSCA Alaur Stadium, on the outskirts of Bangalore, or Srikantadatta Narasimaraja.On 11 July, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) announced that the fourth edition of the annual franchise-based tournament would be a closed door program. It is learned that the city police have not yet to move forward the tournament. Confirming this, a source told Toi that they were looking at other places.The Bengaluru Stadium saw a stampede during the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s IPL win parade in early June, killing 11 people.The 50 -year -old stadium has raised questions on infrastructure and security measures, which was further exposed in the Justice D’Kanha report submitted to the state government last week. Although the event has been declared as a closed door incident, there are apprehensions.“… .. such infrastructural changes are made, continuing to host high-position phenomena at the current location, raising unacceptable risks for public safety, urban mobility and emergency preparations.”While KSCA President Raghuram Bhat was unavailable to the comments, Bangalore City Police Commissioner Seemath Kumar Singh was a non-executive: “We have received a proposal and the same has been sent to the jurisdiction police station for verification.”FranchiseMany franchises toi have spoken with prevailing uncertainties. They are expected to meet to discuss further syllabus of action in the evening ahead.A franchise representative said, “KSCA has accepted the franchise. We are the main stakeholders, and they have to be respected. One of a managing committee member, stopping informal communication, we have no other information from the association.”Premier hotels were booked and logistics worked, the franchisees are now concerned about the disadvantage they will spend. “No hotel is going to give us 100% refund. We have spent many millions to book about two dozen rooms in the five -star hotel. In addition, if the tournament runs from here, it is going to be a logical nightmare, ”said another stakeholder of another franchise.Two places are being considered with various challenges. In the Alaur feature, which is an ideal cricket-wise, there is no floodlight or viewer galleries. Which means that the tournament must be held during the day, which makes it unsuitable for franchises and broadcasters.“We agreed to play at closed doors, but our sponsorship proposals were based on live coverage on a national sports channel. There would be legal implications for us if the sponsors are taken out, as Alur does not even have permanent broadcasting facilities. This is a joke if we have played Maharaja Trophy like local league matches,” a team said.Massuru, which has a good stadium with four wickets, will be in the race against time to up and run its four wickets, with rain for more than a month, with rain with rain, most league matches were postponed or closed.
