The BCA has acquired the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium from the Bihar government on a long-term lease. The stadium currently serves as the home ground for the Bihar cricket team and has been the site of nine international matches since its establishment in 1969.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The BCA chief recounted the challenges faced by Bihar cricket post the state's bifurcation in 2000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"This is a dream come true for us. Since the bifurcation of Bihar state in 2000 the main infrastructure went to the Jharkhand Cricket Association. Only Moin-ul-Haq stadium was with us and that too was under the Bihar government,\" said Rakesh Tiwari.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It was governed by Bihar state itself, we never got it on lease and we were totally dependent on the permission of Bihar government to use it,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tiwari further said, \"Initially, Moin-ul-Haq was made for football. But when we started our proceedings in 2010, it took 8 long years and it was decided that Moin-ul-Haq stadium would be given to Bihar Cricket to conduct activities of cricket only.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Prior to 2018, the stadium could also be used by schools for their annual functions, etc but after 2018 it was given to us to conduct cricket activities on a priority basis. We used to pay rent for it about INR 50k,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite the challenges, the BCA president and his team remained steadfast in their pursuit. With plans underway to revamp the infrastructure and amenities, the stadium is poised to have world-class facilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"But I and the office bearers in BCA kept on trying and never lost hope. Our hard work finally resulted in getting the Moin-ul-Haq stadium on a long-term lease by the Bihar government. And now we plan to make a world-class cricket complex here. I feel this could be the turning point for Bihar cricket,\" Tiwari added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bca-president-rakesh-tiwari-sees-moin-ul-haq-stadium-lease-as-major-turning-point-in-bihar-cricket.jpeg", "alt_img": "BCA president Rakesh Tiwari sees Moin-ul-Haq Stadium lease as major turning point in Bihar cricket", "alt_title": "Bihar Cricket Association suspends Lakhan Raja for 6 years for indulging in indiscipline activities", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "BCA President Rakesh Tiwari Sees Moin-ul-Haq Stadium Lease As Major Turning Point In Bihar Cricket On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "BCA President Rakesh Tiwari Sees Moin-ul-Haq Stadium Lease As Major Turning Point In Bihar Cricket, Bihar Cricket Association: Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) president Rakesh Tiwari feels securing the rights for Moin-ul-Haq Stadium on a long-term.", "seo_keywords": "Rakesh Tiwari, Haq Stadium, Bihar Cricket Association, The BCA, Jharkhand Cricket Association, Only Moin, Bihar Cricket", "tag": "", "tagging": "Rakesh Tiwari, Haq Stadium, Bihar Cricket Association, The BCA, Jharkhand Cricket Association, Only Moin, Bihar Cricket", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "bca-president-rakesh-tiwari-sees-moin-ul-haq-stadium-lease-as-major-turning-point-in-bihar-cricket", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "992", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-03-19 12:28:03", "updated": "2024-03-19 12:28:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Rakesh Tiwari, Haq Stadium, Bihar Cricket Association, The BCA, Jharkhand Cricket Association, Only Moin, Bihar Cricket", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-19 12:28:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/bca-president-rakesh-tiwari-sees-moin-ul-haq-stadium-lease-as-major-turning-point-in-bihar-cricket-140668" }
