Australian umpire Ben Treloar is experiencing Indian domestic cricket for the first time as part of the BCCI-Cricket Australia exchange programme. From aeroplanes flying overhead at Delhi's Palam ground to Mumbai's red-soil pitch at BKC, the 44-year-old shares his impressions of Indian first-class cricket, the warmth of its people and his growing love for local cuisine, including garlic naan and vada pav.
The Ranji Trophy is India's premier domestic cricket competition, and matches are played at various venues across the country, including smaller grounds like Palam where infrastructure may be limited.
