PONDICHERRY: As the BCCI grapples with the massive problem of kick-starting domestic cricket amidst a surge in coronavirus cases, the Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) has reportedly offered to host teams from two zones in a secure bio-bubble.
CAP is ready to provide the BCCI with six first-class grounds, which are newly-developed, with teams to be lodged in four-star hotels, Indian Express reports.
“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,” a top CAP official told the daily.
After the addition of new teams from North-East and elsewhere a couple of years ago following a Supreme Court order, there are now 38 teams in domestic cricket. This has meant that the board needs many grounds to conduct first-class cricket.
