The upcoming second India vs England Test in Vizag promises not only on-field action but also potential appearances from top BCCI brass. The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) has extended invitations to BCCI President Roger Binny, Secretary Jay Shah, and Vice President Rajeev Shukla to grace the occasion.
While BCCI President Roger Binny has confirmed his attendance for the third day of the Test (February 4th), Secretary Jay Shah presence remains unconfirmed as of now. Both were invited during a recent meeting in Hyderabad, according to ACA secretary Gopinath Reddy.
Beyond cheering Team India, fans might witness another significant event – the laying of the foundation stone for an indoor cricket net facility. Reddy expressed hope for Jay Shah’s presence at this ceremony as well, stating to News18, “We haven’t got a confirmation yet, but we’re optimistic.”
The potential attendance of high-ranking BCCI officials adds another layer of importance to the Vizag Test. Their presence not only signifies support for the match but also highlights the growing stature of cricket in Andhra Pradesh. While Shah’s confirmation is awaited, Binny’s presence is assured, providing fans with a chance to see the BCCI President witness the action firsthand.
Whether BCCI secretary Jay Shah ultimately graces the occasion or not, the anticipation surrounding the event remains high. With the Test match promising exhilarating cricket and the potential for significant developments off the field, the Vizag stadium is set to be a hub of excitement in the coming days.
