Ensuring the safety and grandeur of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is at the forefront of Venkatesh Prasad’s campaign for KSCA president. Prasad, supported by cricket stalwarts Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath, has pledged to bring back high-profile cricket to Bengaluru, addressing the recent safety concerns and the embarrassing stampede incident. His vision extends beyond just matches; he aims to create a vibrant fan atmosphere and elevate Karnataka cricket’s status. Prasad believes that proactive dialogue with the government and strict adherence to safety audits are crucial for the stadium’s revival. A significant part of his ambitious plan involves establishing a comprehensive women’s cricket academy, aiming to bridge the gap in talent development and provide equal opportunities for female cricketers in Karnataka.
