The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to allow spectators at the Eden Gardens during the forthcoming three-match T20I series between India and West Indies.
In the backdrop of the spread of the Covid virus, the BCCI had decided not to allow spectators during the ongoing ODI and T20I series between the two nations.
At an apex council meeting of the CAB on Thursday, the members were informed that the association “has requested the BCCI to allow spectators at the venue. Feedback from the BCCI is awaited. CAB is still hopeful of a positive outcome.”
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
