It's a major embarrassment to BCCI. This time its not CWG, it's about our Cricket. Eden Garden is not fully prepared. ICC Scrapped out Eden to host the India-England match on 27th February. Bangaluru may get the match. Source: http://cricketworldcuplive.org/eden-gardens-loses-india-england-matches.html
ya its now moved to Bangalore really sad especially for Kolkata people who will really miss this match....
Its a shame to the BCCI that eden gardens lost its match, kolkatta fans will be diappointed. But Bangalore fans will be delighted and its a great venue for a world cup match. The fan support will be equally amazing in Bangalore also.
Why it's a shame for BCCI (though BCCI is always been shameless, nothing can add more). Eden Garden doesn't belongs/ taken care by BCCI. Most of the stadium where Cricket is played does not belongs/ taken care by to BCCI. BCCI rent-in these stadium/ facilities for the tournaments they organized. BTW, BCCI gets these facilities in very subsidized rate from the respective state/ association but BCCI is not willing/ or able to agree that "Sachin Tendulkar plays for India". BCCI is not willing to be under the umbrella of Ministry of Sports. And, if a stadium for so called World Cup is not ready in India then shouldn't everyone as Indian should be ashamed off? Why BCCI, or state association or a city or a state? To other world it is a STADIUM in INDIA is nor prepared for the world cup.
