The committee, led by convenor DD Kumawat and comprising members Pinkesh Porwal and Mohit Yadav, inspected the Miraj ground on Saturday to evaluate its potential for hosting major cricket events.
The Rajasthan State Sports Council (RSSC) had a few days ago issued a letter to the ad hoc panel, requesting the submission of a match schedule to secure access to SMS Stadium and RCA Academy ground. Additionally, the RSSC highlighted an outstanding payment of Rs 67 lakh, urging RCA to clear the dues promptly to ensure continued access to these facilities.
Amid these challenges, the committee's visit to Nathdwara was spurred by a proposal from Miraj stadium management to host BCCI's 2025-26 domestic cricket tournaments, RCA's domestic competitions and training camps.
The inspection covered critical infrastructure, including the cricket ground, pitch, pavilion, media box, match officials' facilities, VVIP zone, and spectator gallery. Convenor Kumawat expressed satisfaction with the stadium's high-quality facilities, noting their alignment with RCA's requirements.
The committee also held detailed discussions with the stadium's management regarding a potential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with RCA. "Our priority is to advance cricket development in Rajasthan and provide young players with access to world-class infrastructure," said Kumawat.
"We are working to finalise the MOU with Miraj stadium at the earliest to ensure our players have a premier platform to showcase their talent."
