To be a part of the management group is not merely a privilege, but

also a massive responsibility. You are responsible to the game of cricket,

the cricketers, the members who make up the association and the vast

number of followers of the game, without whose patronage cricket

wouldn’t be the vibrant, popular sport that it is.

When our team came into office less than three years back, our main

focus was on fulfilling expectations and embracing responsibility. That

included addressing the expectations of three constituents, namely –

cricketers, association members and cricket enthusiasts.

Upgradation of cricketing infrastructure, taking necessary steps to

ensure that we were in sync with the times and making our functioning

transparent to all the stakeholders were a priority.

The privilege of being in a position of leadership is always tempered

by the necessity to live up to the challenges that invariably come with

that role. This report card of the performances of this team over the last

three years or so will hopefully be an initiative that will continue in the

future, because we owe it to everyone connected with the game and,

more specifically, with Karnataka cricket to keep them abreast of the

developments and progress that the KSCA has been making.

Three years back, we came in armed with a vision, with a dream to

take things to the next level. As I reflect on this period, I feel a sense of

satisfaction at what has been done thus far. I am grateful to my team for

their exemplary contributions.

While there is always scope for progress and improvement which is

something we can never afford to lose sight of in any walk of life, I state

with confidence that the committee for 2010–2013 has raised the bar.

INTRODUCTIONFrom Anil Kumble, Hon. President, KSCA

The Karnataka State Cricket Association is widely recognised and hailed as one of the model units in Indian cricket, as much for its performances and the conduct of players on the field in various grades, as due to the manner in which this Association is run.

“This was a dream that we had for a very long time. I am glad it finally came true. This is a beautiful sta-dium. The people of North Karnataka and the KSCA should be very proud of what they have achieved. I hope that sometime in the future, international cricket comes to Hubli. That’s another dream that we should work towards bringing to fruition.” JAGADISH SHETTAR

An academy is defined as “a place of study or training in a special field”.

The Shimoga Academy embodies this and more. This city of arecanut

and coconut groves is home to a cricketing academy devoted to all the

various aspects of the sport. All training and infrastructure facilities

are dedicated towards building mental and physical strength, stamina

and focus for children of various age groups – all in an environment of

The new Cricket Committee felt an urgent need to revamp as well as

restructure the cricketing calendar and the format to ensure young

cricketers are able to cope with the demands of modern-day cricket.

A four-day format was introduced for the Safi Darashah tournament

which was conducted across eight grounds simultaneously. This tour-

nament has received positive feedback from all participating teams.

The RC-KSCA Academy is functional across all seven zones (including

Bangalore) and has ensured that cricket in Karnataka is truly inclusive.

Free summer camps conducted across the state were a tremendous

success with over 5900 aspirants turning up for the selection trials.

An ongoing competency development program for coaches employed

by the RC-KSCA Academy will ensure that quality coaches serve

cricket in the state in the years to come.

The association has overseen an unprecedented growth in the number

of turf wickets across Karnataka. Cricketers of all age groups and levels

now have access to quality playing conditions. Modern pavilions with

dressing rooms have been built in Mysore, Hubli and Alur. Pavilions in

Shimoga and Belgaum are currently under construction with Raichur

to follow suit.

While the focus remains on the future, cricketers of yore who served

Karnataka with distinction have been recognized when the association

enhanced their ex-gratia payments.

Given the vastly improved quality of playing conditions, support

infrastructure and the application of modern technologies towards

skill development, such as (CVBC – Cognitive Video Based Coaching

technique), it can be safely assumed that a strong foundation has been

laid for cricket in Karnataka.

The committee took up a mandate of modernizing administrative

functions at the KSCA and to usher in systems based on meritocracy

and transparency. A number of initiatives were therefore implemented:

were created and a performance driven, career management practice

was implemented during this tenure.

scaling up of operations.

been integrated into the structure to ensure an inclusive culture

across the state.

The KSCA IMS is a management initiative offering a comprehensive

information and operations management infrastructure in order to

moderate and monitor the wide spread operations of KSCA. The IMS

system covers the following functions:

IMS is designed to ensure a seamless flow of information covering

both sporting and non-sporting activities, while minimizing errors

and improving accuracy of information. People-centric processes have

been replaced by a more efficient policy-driven process. All decisions

are made using on the ground and real-time information.

ADMINISTRATIVE INITIATIVESModernizing systems and procedures

The system also provides integration with tournament management

requirements and with the ERP system to ensure optimal deployment

and utilization of assets.

For a player, the system provides comprehensive profile information

including real-time statistics starting from the point of self-registration

right through the selection and tournament processes. This centralized

information is accessible to officials and also provides an environment

of transparency and inclusivity.

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE

Events managed by the KSCA need to comply with numerous internal

processes and policies, and be coordinated with external agencies such

as the local police force and government agencies. IMS’s event

management module allows for assignment of tasks and the tracking of

activity completion. All these processes are integrated with a financial

system and function under optimal budget control.

Built-in automated systems ensure the timely availability of accurate

and key information as and when required by KSCA management.

Environmental friendly decisions

Fledgling steps have been taken by piloting a solar power generation

experiment on the stadium roof top for which a feasibility report has

been prepared. This project has the full support of the government

in Karnataka. Rainwater harvesting has been implemented at the M

Chinnaswamy Stadium and will soon be a reality at the Alur grounds

as well.

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE

FINANCEIntegrated information system

The four cornerstones of any financial accounting and reporting

system should be – its ability to provide agility (for eg. launching new

ventures and programs), facilitate collaborative demands (eg. quick

response and unified data processing), ensure mandated compliance

(conformance with statutory laws ) and build process efficiencies (eg.

data accuracy, thoroughness, promptness and consistency).

The last few years witnessed a manifold increase in the scale of KSCA’s

operations. In order to meet the requirements of an agile and scalable

organization, the Managing Committee adopted an advanced ERP

(Enterprise Resource Package) solution – a single integrated program

that automates most business processes as well as resultant financial

accounting entries, in real time.

The investment in technology ensures state-of-the-art features that

include functionality across various platforms, intuitive user interface

and inter-operability across various web-based and mobile devices.

Areas covered by the software range from accounting and inventory

management to all management needs.

The prestige of the Chinnaswamy Stadium was further enhanced when

we received a thumbs up for the aesthetically designed new Media

Centre where exclusive desks for print media and commentary boxes

were created. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has now recog-

the best in the country.

Viewing area for VIP guests – the Diamond Box.

Cricket in Karnataka enjoys its pre-eminence largely due to the undying

support it receives from the passionate cricket enthusiast. The Managing

Committee in its manifesto decided to address the needs of the cricket

follower whose continued support we enjoy.

The KSCA has implemented permanent seating with numbered ergonomic

seats for the convenience of each spectator. Other changes at the stadium

include improved parking arrangements, online ticketing and distribution,

and theatre style seating in exclusive sections.

Additional security arrangements in consultation with the Bangalore Police

have been ensured and enhanced flood lighting that caters to the ICC’s

requirements have also been undertaken.

while Alur boasts of a modern pavilion that caters to both ground 2

and 3 in Bangalore.


“It was a wonderful experience to organise the Karnataka-Haryana Ranji Trophy match at KSCA ground, Rajnagar. That match proved the organising capacityof the Dhar-wad Zone.

114 115A tribute was paid to the Late. Sri M Chinnaswamy, the founder mem-

ber of KSCA, by unveiling a bust at the entrance to the pavilion by His

Excellency the Governor of Karnataka.

The Platinum Jubilee celebrations, albeit late in coming were con-

ducted in a gala manner with a galaxy of Indian cricket greats which

included former India captains and the piece-de-resistance was the

presence of Sir Richard Hadlee as the Chief Guest.

A feasibility study and an implementation plan have been prepared

to create a state-of-the-art museum at the Northern Stand on a BOT

(Build-Operate-Transfer) model which awaits approval of the general

body.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Managing an association brings with it a myriad of unique challenges. While commitment, enthu-siasm and enterprise are necessary ingredients, we learnt very early that our achievements are also dependent on the active support of a wide network of people, who we believe is the true enthusiast and a well-wisher of Karnataka Cricket. It is to these people that we remain indebted.

We have received unstinting support from our Members and Affiliated

Clubs. The Government of Karnataka and its various departments have

backed us while the Karnataka Police Force have been proactive in

ensuring that security and other hurdles are overcome smoothly.

The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, the Bangalore Water Sup-

ply and Sewerage Board as well as the Karnataka Power Transmission

Corporation Ltd. have ensured that there were no hitches in running

the association be it a match day or a normal day in the office.

Without the co-operation of the various Ground Authorities of the

city and in the Zones and also the Zonal Committees and Convenors,

we could not have carried out the extensive cricketing activities that

we have managed. Our dedicated panel of doctors, sub-committees,

organizations, individuals and sponsors have ensured that cricketers

remain focussed in their pursuit of excellence.

Special mention needs to be made of both our Audit and Technical

Committees, whose members, all highly rated professionals, lent their

invaluable time to further the KSCA cause.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, has been a guiding force.

Staff of both the KSCA and the Club House have risen to the occasion

repeatedly, enabling us to meet expectations day in and day out. As

always, the media attention we have received has been constructive and

positive and we are indeed grateful.

The support received from all those who are not mentioned above is

humbly acknowledged and any omission is unintentional.

From Javagal Srinath, Hon. Secretary, KSCA
