BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia and VVS Laxman credited Jay Shah’s leadership for transforming Bengaluru’s Centre of Excellence from a vision into reality. Shah helped clear legal and land-related hurdles and pushed the project on a war footing. Laxman said the state-of-the-art facility reflects Shah’s vision and commitment to Indian cricket.
Bengaluru: Standing on the cusp of its second anniversary, the state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence here came to a fruition after the efforts put on a war-footing by BCCI officials led by its former secretary Jay Shah.
Incumbent secretary Devajit Saikia said Shah, who is now heading the International Cricket Council, went to great lengths to bring every official onto the same page to complete the mission.
"He took everybody on board in BCCI's Apex Council and made a firm decision that this establishment (CoE) has to be done on a war footing, and we need to move on from the old, temporary arrangement of National Cricket Academy," Saikia told select media at the BCCI CoE.
"Jay came here personally on several occasions to clear all the legal hurdles to start the work, because a lot of regulations are to be followed once we have to start a proper project and on top of that, we have to regularise the land."
