TNCA Request Advance Funds For Hosting Australia

The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) has written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), requesting for advance funds to host the practice match and sessions for Australia. The team from Down Under is set to visit India next month for a five-match One-Day International series which will begin on September 17 in Chennai. However, the visitors will arrive in Chennai on September 8 in order to get accustomed to the conditions. They will also be playing a warm-up game on September 12.

Confirming the news of find request, a senior TNCA official reasoned that usually the hosts association takes care of the visiting team for around 2-3 days but since the Australia team will be in city 10 days prior to the game, the state body needs extra funds in advance.

“Yes, we’ve written an email to the BCCI to release funds early. Usually, a host association takes care of the teams for about two-three days ahead of a match,” an official was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

“However, Australia will be here by September 8 as they want to prepare for the series. We are asking only for the extra days (payment) than the usual,” added the official. We need to provide adequate security for the entire duration. They also play a practice match on September 12. Transportation for practice match and practice sessions on all days need to be arranged. It’s difficult to do it with Rs 1 Lakh.”

The official further stated that TNCA has not threatened the BCCI regarding the funds before saying that the association will have no problem if the BCCI bear the expenses directly.

“The BCCI still has to pay some dues. But we didn’t threaten or say we will pull out citing this. As host association, we have explained the difficulties we face regarding the release of funds. We are okay even if the BCCI takes care of the expenses directly,” he said.
