"We have not received any intimation from the BCCI till now and are going ahead with our preparations," said MPCA's honorary secretary, Milind Kanmadikar.
Doubts had arisen over the conduct of the game after the Supreme Court-appointed Justice R M Lodha Committee had stopped disbursement of large sums of money to the various state units by the Indian cricket board after it decided on this course of action at the emergent working committee meeting here on September 30.
Meanwhile, MPCA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rohit Pandit told reporters in Indore, "We have not received official words from BCCI) yet that the final Test between Indian and New Zealand has been stopped. We got information from media reports."
"But cannot act on such reports. We are going ahead as schedule given that BCCI had asked us to shoulder the responsibility," he added.
