BCCI Urges Restraint Amid Assam Floods
1 Aug
Summary
- BCCI Secretary asked Assam Cricket Association to avoid a grand Assam Premier League.
- Postponing the tournament is not feasible due to a lack of available windows.
- Assam Cricket Association donated Rs 50 lakh towards flood relief efforts.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has advised the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) to scale back the grandeur of the upcoming Assam Premier League (APL) in light of the severe flood crisis gripping Assam. Saikia conveyed that holding the tournament in a subdued manner is more appropriate given the current circumstances.
He further explained that postponing the APL, which is scheduled to commence on August 1 and conclude by August 23, is practically impossible. The domestic cricket calendar is packed, with continuous matches until May 2027, leaving no suitable window for rescheduling. This tight schedule means the tournament must proceed as planned.
Saikia also acknowledged and praised the ACA's commitment to assisting the people of Assam during times of need. He specifically highlighted the association's generous donation of Rs 50 lakh towards flood relief efforts, showcasing their dedication to community support.
