Guwahati, June 26: With only five months to go before the proposed ODI between India and England at Nehru Stadium, the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) will move Dispur with a plan to renovate the Pilik Choudhury Pavilion to accommodate more journalists and provide better dressing room facilities to the teams.
The ACA will take up the matter with the chief secretary, P.C. Sarma, for prompt action on the proposed renovation, which will take at least four months to complete.
“The chief secretary had sought details of the proposed renovation plan which we are going to submit to him in a couple of days,” said ACA secretary Bikash Baruah.
The ACA had submitted a Rs 82-lakh plan for the renovation of the pavilion to the state government more than a year ago. The ACA had even sought Dispur’s permission to spend the money from its coffers and later adjust it with the rent it pays to the Board of Sports of Assam. Dispur, however, has been sitting on the plan so far.
“Every time we host an ODI, we face the problem of providing the necessary dressing room facilities to the teams and in accommodating the media. The chief secretary seems to be enthusiastic this time and so we will approach him again. We hope the pavilion will be renovated before the next ODI,” Baruah said.
