IND vs ENG: England’s cricket team will be in India for a 5-test series. The first test will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on January 25. As a special offer, students from government and government-recognized schools in Telangana will be given free entry to this match.
Arshanapalli Jagan Mohan Rao (President of the Hyderabad Cricket Association, HCA) recently visited Uppal Stadium to inspect ongoing modernization work. During his visit, he announced that students from grades 6-12 will be able to watch the India vs. England test match free of charge.
Students will not be allowed to apply directly. The principals will be required to submit the applications for the students. The applications must state clearly the number of staff and students attending each school.
The HCA president explained that the HCA will review all applications and give complimentary passes to schools. The students who receive these passes are required to wear school uniforms. During the match, students will also receive free food and water.
HCB Offers Free Admission To Students Of Government Schools With A Packed Lunch
The HCB has taken a wonderful initiative to encourage school students to play cricket and support the Indian team. This will not only encourage children to take up cricket, but it will also create a positive impression of Test Cricket in their minds. Mumbai Indians do the same thing in the IPL. They allow children free entry every year to one of their home matches.
HCB is offering free entry to all children, as well as a free lunch at the stadium. Schools interested in participating should email their entries by January 18 to the Chief Executive Officer of the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.
It was the first time that the England team played in India after they adopted the Bazball method. Last time England didn’t have a great time. Axar Ashwin and Ravichandran Patel turned the fortunes of the Indian team, not only the ball.
The students will love the excitement and the wickets as they cheer from the stands.
