MCA president lashes out at VVIP free ‘pass culture’

Since April 2012, when it was established, the MCA International Cricket Centre in Gahunje has hosted 22 matches including key international fixtures. It will be 23 matches old on Wednesday, when the eliminator of IPL season 8, between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals, is played. The stadium that adheres to international standards and boasts a rich infrastructure, however, has a burden to bear. It is plagued by the poor habits of some of the spectators, and impacted by the “pass culture”, says Ajay Shirke, President of the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA).
