CCI rewards curator, groundsmen

The Cricket Club of India rewarded its chief curator Prakash Adhav and the ground staff for preparing a good Test wicket at the Brabourne Stadium.

"The CCI management wishes to show its appreciation for curator Adhav and the other groundsmen numbering 20-25 for preparing a very good track for the Test. Adhav would be given Rs 50,000 while the others would be rewarded with Rs 5,000 each," said a CCI spokesperson at the end of the match.

The track for the Test, the first in 36 years at CCI since international cricket moved to the nearby Wankhede Stadium, came in for praise from several quarters, including the two teams.

To celebrate the return of Test cricket to its original home in Mumbai that resulted in a victory for India and its elevation to the number one spot in the world rankings, the CCI announced creation of the Raj Singh Dungarpur Cricket Foundation with an initial corpus of Rs 51 lakh.

The foundation, set up in memory of the former president of the CCI as well as the Cricket Board who passed away in September, "would promote deserving cricketers in India through financial grant who, in the normal course, are unable to muster enough financial resources to fulfil their dreams," the club said in a media release.
