Barabati stadium might host test match

Secretary of Odisha Cricket Association(OCA), Asirbad Behera on Monday claimed that very soon Barabati will host a Test match. After the bottle pelting incident at Barabati stadium in October last year, the state cricket body had to face lot of criticisms and even matches were not alloted to Barabati.

" Barabati would get Test status within two-three months. The process got delayed after the bottle throwing incident in the stadium (during a Twenty20 International against South Africa in October, 2015). Now, the issue is over and we are quite confident that Barabati stadium will get Test status," said Behera.

He added "The BCCI has expressed satisfaction over OCA's report on the incident. Besides, the BCCI has advised the OCA regarding some measures to be taken in future to avoid such untoward situation."
