In the first match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup, the Indian cricket board began to face empty seats.
In the opening match of the World Cup being played between England and New Zealand, the stadium is empty, despite the distribution of free tickets, people did not come to the stadium.
Cricket fans and former cricketers have severely criticized the BCCI.
Before the matches, the online booking website claimed that all the tickets were sold out.
England women’s cricketer Danielle White said that where is the crowd?
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, seeing the situation, demanded free entry into the stadium.
Virender Sehwag said that it is hoped that the fans will visit the stadium after the office hours, except for the match of the Indian team, school and college children should be given free entry to the stadium.
After the cricket fans did not come to the stadium, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah made a new offer to the fans.
It has been decided to provide free mineral water to the cricket fans to attract them to the matches in the stadium.
Jai Shah has said that mineral water and water available in packing will be given free of cost to the fans in the stadium during the World Cup.
Stay hydrated and enjoy the games, come and create unforgettable moments during the World Cup, he said.
