Budding players of Anand XI Football Club a division A side in Indore city league were forced to clean Holkar Cricket Stadium ahead of the upcoming fourth ODI between India and the West Indies.
These footballers were paid Rs.2.75 for every seat cleaned. They have taken up the job to ensure they get money to buy their football kits to keep alive their passion for the sport.
Anand XI captain Sanjay Nidhan lashed out at the Madhya Pradesh government for reducing them to such plight.
“Football is one of the most neglected games. We are asked not to pursue it as a career option. There are many talented players here… Football needs hard work for which a good diet is required which is possible with money. I don’t understand why the state government, despite promoting various games, neglects football,” Nidhan was stated saying in Indiatoday.
