Former ICC and BCCI president Sharad Pawar said politics should not be brought into sports and the administrators' only aim should be to help sportsperson and provide them the best of facilities.
The tickets for the Indian Premier League semi-final matches, to be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 30 and 31, are going to cost the cricket fans dear with the rates fixed between Rs 1000 and Rs 12000 for most stands barring the popular East Lower. This is double the amount the fans paid for the matches during the league stages.
Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Thursday decided to substantially lower the ticket rates of popular stands for India's Test match against England at the Wankhede Stadium scheduled from December 8-12 as compared to the prices for Sachin Tendulkar's farewell game in 2013. "We have decided to keep the ticket rates cheaper as compared to the rates we had maintained during the Tendulkar Test match," MCA sources said after a meeting of its Managing Committee chaired by President Sharad Pawar.
