Rajasthan Cricket Association's internal disputes disappointing cricket lovers: Ashok Gehlot

Jaipur, June 6 (UNI) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday expressed concern over the ongoing disputes within the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA), saying that the infighting has caused great disappointment among cricket lovers in the state.

Gehlot said since the BJP government came to power in the state, the RCA has been plagued by controversies, which have made it challenging to even organise IPL matches.

He criticised the state government for remaining a silent spectator to the disputes between the ad-hoc committee, sports council, and sports department.

Gehlot pointed out that the ad-hoc committee, which was formed by the government, was only meant to be a temporary measure for three months, during which elections should have been held. However, elections have not been held for over a year and a half.

He recalled the positive developments that took place during Vaibhav Gehlot's tenure as RCA president, including the lifting of the ban imposed by the BCCI in 2019, the organisation of international and IPL matches in Rajasthan, and the renovation of the Barkatullah Khan Stadium in Jodhpur.

However, Gehlot lamented that the work on the proposed world-class cricket stadium in Jaipur, which was to be built in collaboration with the Vedanta group, has also come to a standstill.

Gehlot urged the state government to intervene and put an end to the bitter infighting within the RCA, considering the future of cricket and cricketers in Rajasthan, as well as the sentiments of millions of cricket lovers.

He stressed that the government's intervention is necessary to ensure the development of cricket in the state.
