BCCI President Sourav Ganguly today said the opening T20 match against Bangladesh can not be cancelled at the last minute despite deteriorating air quality in New Delhi. BCCI President, however, dropped hints that North India venues may not be considered for matches after Diwali in future.
Talking to reporters at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today, the BCCI Chief said, it is not possible to cancel things at the last minute, because a lot of preparations go into matches like tickets, crowds everything.
Back in December 2017, the Sri Lankan cricket team was left gasping for breath during a Test match at the Feroz Shah Kotla, forcing most of their players to wear protective masks as some even fell sick. The newly-elected BCCI boss said in future they would be more “practical”.
