Former India head coach Rahul Dravid has defended the heavily-criticised US leg of the T20 World Cup 2024, saying that "playing at odd hours" and coping with "challenging" facilities were necessary "compromises" to take cricket to a larger audience.
Given the huge effort involved in conducting the event in the region, Dravid said he was fine with the 10.30am (local time) starts and the infrastructure used for the games in New York, Florida and Texas.
