This do organised by Pawan Arora was saw many former cricketers putting in an appearance.The biz of Cricket: As the guests started chatting, the discussion steered toward the corporatisation of the game. Pawan sounded unhappy with the phenomenon and said, ���Cash flow from corporate houses, coupled with Bollywood razzmatazz, will demean conventional tests and ODI���s and the public will lose interest in the game.
Cricket has been condensed into a game of money, market and musclepower.���
Talking cricket: Former cricketers Manoj Prabhakar, Vivek Razdan and Chetan Chauhan chatted for very long about their old days. Theatre artist-cum-former Ranji cricketer Abhinav Chaturvedi compered the function. Ajay Maken was the chief guest for the event and he also talked a little about cricket and said, ���I prefer test cricket over other avatars of the game.
