The Poor State of Bihar Cricket Stadium Goes Viral. India Great Calls It 'Unacceptable'
Moin-Ul-Haq Stadium of Bihar in Patna has hogged the limelight for the wrong reason. The venue is hosting a Ranji Trophy Elite Group match after a 27-year-long gap, and the miserable condition of the stadium has become a talking point. It is worth noting that Bihar is currently playing against Mumbai in an Elite Group B match at the Moin-Ul-Haq Stadium. As stars like Sarfaraz Khan and Shivam Dube are playing in the match, fans entered the stadium in huge numbers, but there was no proper seating, and the deteriorating condition of the stadium has invited wide criticism.
A video of the poor condition of the stadium went viral on social media, and that video saw former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad also slamming the state’s cricket governing body.
While reacting to the viral image, Venkatesh said, “This is unacceptable. Ranji Trophy is the premiere domestic competition in India, and it’s time all stakeholders realized its value. I don't see any valid reason for the state association not rectifying this.”
