Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 26: More skeletons are likely to tumble out
of the cupboard as organizers of Ball Busters Cup -Cricket tournament-canceled
the match between Jammu Cricket Club and Laxmi Cricket Club on Friday without any
intimation to the players.
Moreover, players and others were forced to sit for
hours in the ground without the basic facilities but surprisingly, the
organizers didn't pick calls despite repeated attempts by the Ranji players on
Friday.
A group of players, seeking anonymity, told Early Times
that the match between JCC and LCC was supposed to be held at 12 PM last Friday
at Parade Ground Jammu as the date fixed by the Organizers but the match
couldn't be held due to lackadaisical approach and non-serious attitude of the
organizers-who are allegedly minting money by organizing the Cricket Tournament
in the city.
"We (players of both teams) had to wait for hours
on the same day without basic facilities as the organizers were absent from the
venue," they divulged, adding that players especially seniors tried a lot
to establish contact with organizers but all efforts went in vain.
"Despite giving entry fees to the organizers, the match could not be held
exposing the objective of the organizers behind the Tournament. It seems, the
Cricket Tournament is being held only to collect money by the organizers
affiliated with a ruling party.
Few days back, Captain Sham Singh had alleged that the
tournament was merely a money making tactics and no colored uniforms were given
despite charging Rs. 10,000, while the uniforms were sponsored by a government
department bowing to the influence of a leader of the ruling party, who is one
of the organizers.
