International match not held even after more than three years, 11 matches in Gujarat in 2 years : No international match has been held in Sawai Mansingh Stadium located in Jaipur, Rajasthan even after more than three years. Jaipur did not get a World Cup match but no match of bilateral series was held there either. In such a situation, it will be said that this is step-motherly treatment of BCCI. There is no one from Rajasthan to lobby in BCCI. Because of this, matches are not being held here. Jaipur has been ignored. Only BCCI knows about this but this is sheer injustice because facts never lie.
Series matches held, drought ends
Among the stadiums in India where no international match was held, Nagpur and Cuttack were named, where no match was held for 5 years but matches of the series against England were held at both the places and this drought ended. BCCI paid attention here this time. There are many states in which matches were held in two cities. Rajkot and Ahmedabad are recent examples. There are also Mumbai and Pune. Apart from this, Indore and Gwalior also come in those examples.
Be it international games or IPL
Rajasthan was not given an international match, on the contrary, two matches were cut from IPL and given to Guwahati in Assam. The fans of this state expect IPL to give them matches but those matches are also sent to Assam. The South lobby is very strong in BCCI, due to which there are equal matches there. Be it international games or IPL. No match goes from those states.
11 international games in 2 years in Gujarat
The last international match in Jaipur was played in November 2021. It was a T20 match between India and New Zealand. After this, a bilateral series has been played but the officials sitting in BCCI are not even trying to look in this direction. Seeing the list of states in which matches have been held recently, everyone will agree that BCCI has done injustice to Rajasthan. 11 international games have been held in Ahmedabad and Rajkot of Gujarat in just 2 years.
