Mohali: The PCA has been rechristened as ‘Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium’ in the name of its former president. The decision to re-name the stadium was taken “unanimously” in the General Body Meeting of the association, PCA spokesperson Sushil Kapoor said.
PCA secretary MP Pandove informed the house of the contribution of Bindra in bringing to the stadium all cricketing facilities and making it the best in the country for a long time. Pandove said that the efforts of Bindra had helped PCA to set up its headquarters at Mohali.
“The house appreciated the contribution of IS Bindra and on suggestion of the honorary secretary unanimously approved the name for the PCA Stadium,” Kapoor said. Bindra, meanwhile, thanked all the members for their gesture and assured his best for PCA.
Kapoor said Pandove informed the members that PCA was committed to the welfare of its former players and announced that the players drawing monthly gratis from the association would get a raise of 50 per cent in their gratis from April 1, 2015.
