Spectators missed out on watching local boy Prithvi Shaw score a fine fifty for the Board President's XI against New Zealand yesterday after police refused to let fans inside the stadium. "We have not been instructed about whether or not to allow spectators inside the ground. We don't have a problem allowing them in, if we get orders," a senior policeman told mid-day.
