Shashi Tharoor urges BCCI to shift winter matches to South India



Highlighting Kerala’s readiness to host international cricket, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said: “My Thiruvananthapuram has a wonderful stadium, we are ready to host people. Come and play.”He pointed out that the Indian women’s cricket team is already scheduled to play there towards the end of December.Tharoor stressed that weather conditions must be a key factor in planning fixtures. “We should urge the BCCI to take the weather conditions into account when scheduling,” he said.“Kerala is ready, and I am sure other southern places are not going to have this kind of fog and poor visibility. So from mid-December to mid-January, no cricket matches in north India, please… don’t cheat cricket lovers.”Earlier, Tharoor had also raised the issue in a post on X on Wednesday night, noting that cricket fans in Lucknow had been waiting in vain for the match to begin due to dense smog and an air quality index of 411, while Thiruvananthapuram, he said, had an AQI of around 68 at the same time.
