New Delhi, December 27:After the fifth ODI between India and Sri Lanka was called off due to unplayable pitch at the Ferozeshah Kotla Sunday, the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) pledged a refund of tickets to all spectators.
“DDCA regrets the inconvenience caused to all spectators. We offer our apologies to them. All gate tickets will be refunded. A detailed announcement in this regard will be made shortly. DDCA takes this matter very seriously,” DDCA president Arun Jaitley said in a statement.
“We will look into this matter and do all that is required to ensure that such a situation does not re-occur,” he added.
It was the second time since 1997 that a cricket match in India, incidentally also featuring the same two countries, was spiked due to very same reasons — then at Indore.
India have already clinched the current series 3-1 after winning the fourth ODI at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
