BCCI gives clean chit to RCA

The BCCI seems to have made-up with the Rajasthan cricket board – giving it a clean chit for the special facilities provided by RCA to the visiting Australian team.

Lalit Modi’s academy had earlier come under fire from the BCCI for giving the Australian team facilities beyond what is normally provided for touring teams anywhere in the world. This included ten varieties of specialised pitches for the team to acclamitise on.

Lalit Modi had defended the facilities saying that they are a step forward in building better ties with Cricket Australia.

Cricket Australia, however, in fact thanked the Rajasthan Cricket Association for the hospitality to the Australia cricket team saying: “It is important for any touring cricket team to acclimatise to the conditions before a big series and we’re grateful to the Rajasthan Cricket Association for the hospitality they’ve extended to Australia and the high quality of the facilities on offer at RCA’s Academy in Jaipur.

“We look forward to extending the same courtesies to India when they next tour Australia as part of the successful and ongoing bilateral relationship between Cricket Australia and the BCCI.”
