\u201cI would like to congratulate Rohan Jaitley, who is the President of the DDCA, and his entire team. More than 300 first-class matches have been played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium \u2014 in fact, I believe today marks the 302nd match. This is a remarkable achievement, and in my opinion, truly commendable, especially considering the efforts he has made since the affiliation. Once again, I would like to thank him wholeheartedly for inviting me on this special occasion, and I extend my warmest congratulations to him once again,\u201d Manhas said speaking to IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jaitley was recently appointed as the chair of the BCCI\u2019s infrastructure committee after the board concluded its 94th Annual General Meeting in September. It was when Manhas was appointed president, succeeding Roger Binny in the role.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Infrastructure Committee is now headed by Jaitley, with his team comprising Manhas, Shukla, Saikia, Prabhtej Bhatia, A. Raghuram Bhat, Anirudh Chaudhury, and Sana Sathish Babu. Former BCCI president Binny previously held the position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jaitley is now in charge of overseeing the country\u2019s cricket grounds, focusing on building new ones and upgrading existing facilities where needed. In December last year, Jaitley was re-elected as the DDCA president, securing 1,577 votes against 777 for former India cricketer Kirti Azad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Recently, Jaitley and Manhas met with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to outline a roadmap for developing world-class infrastructure and nurturing young talent in Jammu and Kashmir, as part of a major push to strengthen cricketing facilities in the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
