    We saw realization of our dream Bajpe airport becoming an international airport and also the new terminal building which is coming up. Similarly we are dreaming of having a world class Cricket Stadium coming up in Mangalore. Appreciate having attention from all the members involved/contributed to making Manglore Bajpe airport an international airport.

    This is a great initiative.  There is no doubt that south Kanara has adiquate talent with less opportunity. This format of T20 is great & exciting, but we need to produce talent for the longer format of the game as well.
