Growth in the infrastructure

Despite the ongoing tussle between the BCCI and the Lodha Committee, there is no denying the fact that the Indian board is financially the most accomplished sporting authority in the world today.

For instance, the outfield at Vishakhapatnam has been hailed by one and all, and the lush green surface is a real sight to behold. This could only happen if you have the funds to improve the conditions of the field.
