Reviving Cricket Glory: The Chinnaswamy Stadium Revival Plan
Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad unveils a manifesto for the KSCA elections, aimed at reviving Chinnaswamy Stadium's cricket legacy post-stampede. His agenda includes upgrading to a smart stadium and increasing capacity. Prasad also hopes to revitalize both men's and women's cricket in Karnataka.
Cricket could soon make a grand return to Chinnaswamy Stadium, as former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad spearheads efforts to restore the venue's storied legacy. At a recent event, Prasad released his election manifesto, signaling his intent to reform Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) operations.
The stadium, currently underutilized following a tragic stampede, stands at risk of losing opportunities to host international matches. Through systematic upgrades, Prasad's vision includes transforming Chinnaswamy into a world-class smart stadium, alongside bolstering fan safety and increasing its capacity to 50,000.
Moreover, Prasad aims to rejuvenate both men's and women's cricket in Karnataka. His efforts are supported by notable figures such as Vinay Mruthyunjaya and former women's national team captain Shanta Rangaswamy, underlining a comprehensive strategy for cricket development in the state.
