Know how the ‘Subair System’ at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium helps in getting the match started as soon as possible after heavy rains?

However, what is worrying for the fans is that it is raining in the stadium just a day before the start of the match. Apart from this, there is a possibility of rain on all days of the game. In such a situation, the question coming in the minds of the fans is whether the match will take place in the stadium or not? But for your information, let us tell you that Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium has the best excellent drainage facility among all the stadiums in the country. This facility present in the stadium is known as ‘Subair System’. Let us tell you how it works: Which drainage system is used in M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru? Let us tell you that with the help of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) subair system, the stadium is able to be always ready, the operation of which is completely digital. Here various methods are used for effective utilization of resources with changing weather conditions. Talking about this subair system, it works with sand as the main base of the ground on the field. As a result, the traditional red-soil in the coveted area has been replaced with sand to smooth the functioning of the drainage infrastructure. Unlike traditional soil, sand does not hold water. Because of this, not much water is seen on this ground after heavy rains and the outfield also does not get very wet. Apart from this, the rain water drain present in the stadium is run by a 200-horsepower machine, which is enough to remove 10,000 liters of water per minute. This world class operation greatly helps in getting the outfield ready for play within minutes even after heavy rain. Due to this system present in the stadium, many matches taking place here have been saved from being cancelled. KSCA had decided to install this system in the year 2015 after the India vs South Africa match was canceled due to rain for 1 day. No matter how much rain happens after the formation of this system, if the rain stops then the game can be restarted on the field in less than half an hour.

18 regional teams participate in this domestic tournament of Pakistan. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) Just a day after the start of the National Junior Championship, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to postpone it. The participants and officials of the tournament have been informed about its postponement by PCB. On the other hand, PCB said in a short press release regarding the sudden postponement of the tournament that due to unavoidable circumstances, the tournament is being postponed with immediate effect. It is worth noting that a lot of money was spent by PCB to gather the participants of the tournament. Furthermore, a Pakistan Cricket Board confidant revealed that PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had received several complaints that participants in the tournament had taken part with fake documentation, which could have led to problems in the selection of teams as well as the underlying issue of age fraud. This PCB confidant was quoted by News18 as saying- Junior tournaments are considered by the board as the backbone of preparing the right talent for first-class cricket and international performances. This is why despite the long selection process, Mohsin Naqvi got upset when he received several complaints, some of which were valid. PCB may suffer financial loss It is worth mentioning that 18 regional teams of the country participate in this National Junior Championship of Pakistan. And the PCB brings the players who perform well in this to First Class Cricket, from where the door to the National Team opens. However, now these 18 teams were taken to training centres where training took place and the players were provided with food, accommodation and transport facilities apart from kits and daily allowances, the total amount of which was reportedly in the millions of rupees. But this now only seems to be causing a financial loss to the PCB.
