GCA WINDFALL AFTER LOSING TEST

There is not much financial gain for associations hosting Tests. The Gujarat Cricket Association was to host second Test against WI before the visitors pulled out. But being allotted an ODI in its place has come as blessing in disguise. “In an ODI you expect the tickets to be sold out. We make at least ` 30-`35 lakh in ticket sales. Even our operating cost is a fraction of that of a Test,” said an official.
