Bolangir; For the first time in
the cricket history Bolangir, a four day
Ranji trophy match, organised by District Athletic Association and Odisha Cricket
Association, between Rajasthan and Odisha,
is going to be played from 21st to 24January at Gandhi stadium in Bolangir.
Addressing media persons AshirbadBehera,
Secretary of Odisha Cricket Association informed that that the curator BCCI
east zone, has described the of pitch of Gandhi stadium is good. Bolangir has
already produced three national level women cricketer MaduriMehta,RoshanaraParbin
and SaritaMeher. And it has motivated other women players’ ofOdisha. A women cricket
academy would be set up in Bolangir and hopefully within a year. I would take up
this case once the BCCI convenes its meeting. Last year first T-20match was held
and CKNaidu trophy was also held here .
Now Ranji trophy is going to held
and if the other conditions of test match and international matches are fulfilled
here then holding of such matches could be think of.SaysOCA Secretary AshirbadBherea
while thanking Secretary of District Athletic Association Harinarayan Pujhari
(Nari) for his continuous effort preparing the stadium for this match.
Earlier president of District
Athletic Association Sri Srikara Mishra welcomed the guest and informed that Rajsthan
team would arrive by tomorrow evening and Odisha cricket team is expected to
arrive by 18thevening.
This Ranji Match has elated many
cricket players here. I played Ranji trophy in Cuttack in 1991-93, besides Sanjya
Behera. Already women cricketer has brought fame for Bolangir at national level
.I hope this Ranji match would it would-be an inspiration for young cricket players,
says former cricketer Surya Mishra, who is now a Ranji match player selector.
