While I appreciate the enthusiasm for young leadership, I'm concerned about Harsh Vardhan's lack of administrative experience. Running a state cricket association requires more than just passion. Hope he proves me wrong!

Bihar cricket has been neglected for too long. This new team needs to build proper infrastructure in districts, not just Patna. Let's hope they walk the talk! 🤞
