KANPUR, Jan 13 (PTI): Sachin Tendulkar’s prescription to revive Test cricket’s popularity found a taker in the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) which is planning to dole out free passes for students at the Green Park stadium.“The UPCA liked the suggestion put forth by Tendulkar and therefore we are ready to give free tickets to kids upto the high school level,” UPCA Director Jyoti Bajpai told PTI. Tendulkar, during a recent felicitation in Mumbai, made the suggestion to keep fan interest in the longer version of the game alive. “Tendulkar’s suggestion is praiseworthy because most of the time we find it tough to fill in the stadiums during Test matches.
