Connectivity Woes Adding to the list of grievances, there were problems with stadium connectivity. Attendees had to undertake a long walk to enter, which further compounded the inconvenience.
Pitch Quality However, one bright spot was the pitch itself. Unlike previous tournaments, where pitches were subpar, the newly laid pitch at Ekana Stadium was praised for its quality. It was deemed one of the best in the tournament, highlighting the potential the venue holds if managed properly.
In conclusion, the experience at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, raises serious questions about BCCI’s capacity to host major events. From ticketing to amenities, the shortcomings were glaring. It is imperative that corrective measures are taken promptly to ensure that Indian cricket’s premier venues are up to par with international standards.
