Anant Padmanabhan, the captain of BITS cricket-team, spared a few minutes from his time and let us interview him, during which he shed some light on the present conditions of the “great” game in BITS. It’ll come as a surprise to most, but the players of our cricket team, in addition to playing in the BOSM matches, have the more important and difficult job of conducting the whole tournament. Be it organizing the matches, deciding the schedule of matches, or the meagre task of taking care of refreshments for participants, it’s done by the cricket squad only, which currently consists of around 26 people.
The captain told us that they had the good fortune of getting some very promising players in the team this time. Even the turnout for the cricket trials was pretty decent, the count finally reaching to 80. Out of these, some 10 people were taken after rigorous practice eliminations. The team is really very enthusiastic about BOSM this year and they hope of winning the gold that they unfortunately missed last time. The performance of the team has been quite remarkable in the last few years though; and they do hope to improve their skills further.
This year, a total of 12 teams (including BITS) are expected for the competition which will be played during BOSM. The tournament would be played according to the proper 20-20 format, and they will be organizing 3 matches per day for the whole period. Considering that cricket is such a sought after sport, Anant also mentioned a few improvements which would be made in terms of facilities for the audience.
All the team needs now is a little luck, and a lot of hard work and confidence to achieve what they are hoping for…
