SCORE BOARD
Jaipur, March 23: In an embarrassing situation, India’s Test vicecaptain and Rajasthan Royals captain Ajinkya Rahane was made to wait outside a locked Sawai Man Singh Stadium due to an alleged feud between Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and the State Sports Council.
Rahane and a few Rajatshan Royals players, who had come for training found the SMS gates locked by the sports council employees for close to half an hour before they could enter after the intervention from franchise officials.
The Sawai Man Singh Stadium is under Rajasthan State Sports Council (RSSC) and normally it is the RCA that has pay for its upkeep.
“There has always been an issue of pending payments between RCA and RSSC since the time Lalit Modi was in charge of state cricket. However during the time of IPL, all payments are done by the franchise,” a senior RCA official said.
The official further said that it was more about state sports council officials trying to put pressure for freebies like complimentary passes for the matches. “Today’s incident was surprising since Royals have recently made a substantial payment for the maintenance of the stadium. Whenever there is IPL, the state sports council officials do these things forcing RCA to shell out more passes,” he said.
When contacted, RCA joint secretary Mahendra Nahar cited security concerns. — PTI
