During the Cricket World Cup in India, the series of mismanagement and poor arrangements could not stop.
On the occasion of the warm-up match between Pakistan and Australia at Opal Hyderabad on Tuesday, pictures of the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium’s seats have surfaced on social media, which are not suitable for spectators to sit on due to being dirty.
Venkatesh, a cricket analyst associated with Star Sports, shared these pictures on Twitter, which exposed the poor sanitation in the stadium. He wrote that nothing has changed in the Opal Stadium and the comfort of the spectators has not been taken care of.
Every day a new problem arises regarding the arrangements of the World Cup in India, which has threatened the smooth conduct of the global mega event.

Complaints are also coming from the fans about not getting tickets for the match and the issue of issuing visas to foreign fans has not been resolved till now.
According to Indian media reports, the Indian Cricket Board has also canceled the opening ceremony without giving a reason and the ICC has also been informed of this decision.
It should be remembered that in the Cricket World Cup in India, cases of mismanagement had started to surface even before the beginning. The first schedule was delayed and when the schedule was released, several matches were rescheduled due to security issues due to the Hindu religious festival Navratri.
The Indian government had to hold the warm-up match between Pakistan and New Zealand behind closed doors due to security concerns. Last month before the mega event, there was also a fire incident in Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, as a result of which the players’ belongings were burnt to ashes, while the World Cup match between Pakistan and England is also scheduled in the same ground.
