With uncertainty prevailing over World Twenty20 matches at the Ferozshah Kotla, the BCCI will take stock of the stadium's preparations on March 8 after the Delhi High Court dismissed the troubled DDCA's restoration plea seeking NOC from the Municipal Corporation.
"We will have a meeting with the DDCA officials on March 8 and we will take stock of the situation. As far as BCCI is concerned, the matches in Delhi are on," said BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur.
A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw dismissed DDCA's application to restore its 1997 petition seeking NOC from SDMC for the stadium which was denied ASI clearance.
Kotla is scheduled to host four matches of the World T20 including the semifinal besides six games of the Women's World T20.
Thakur also said that close to 45,000 tickets have been sold online for the non-India matches. The ticket sales for the ICC event began only on February 24 ahead of the tournament beginning on March 8.
The BCCI also concluded the random draw of the lottery system for all the four India matches, the semi-finals (men and women) and the final (men and women).
Asked about the delay in the ticket selling process, Thakur added: "look at the capacity of stadiums in India and the requirement , it is already ten times more. So there is just online requirement. If you look at the situation on the ground, there are thousands of people who are waiting to buy physical tickets."
The respective state association will decide the number of tickets it wants to sell online and through physical counters.
