BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla defends Kanpur as Test centre amid criticism
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla defends Kanpur as a Test venue, emphasizing its historical importance and upcoming infrastructure upgrades despite current rain issues. Shukla also hints at possibly conducting the next IPL auction abroad to engage overseas fans. Persistent rain has played havoc with the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park as two full days of play were washed out without a ball being bowled.
