A report in The Indian Express claims that the stadium will be ready by early next year and the BCCI is planning a grand inauguration. The report suggests that the stadium, which can accommodate 1.10 lakh spectators, could host an exhibition match between Asia XI and World XI in March next year if the International Cricket Council agrees to BCCI’s request. "There will be Asia XI vs World XI game but it will be subject to ICC’s approval,” BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying in the report. 1 Gollum reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

ShoonyaSifar 1,905 Report post Posted Wednesday at 06:13 PM Hope the pitch and stadium facilities are world class. Old Motera was a third class stadium, it’s new avatar deserves to be a world class sports facility. Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar have too much of sarkari touch in building architecture and facilities starting from its pathetic ‘international’ airport. Statue of Unity at Narmada or Ranotsav at Rann of Kutch suffer from the same sarkari malaise. Likewise the holy cities at Dwarka and Somnath. Quote Share this post Link to post

Won't be surprised if Pakistani players get invited but even if that happens, they are going to reject it as this match is going to be part of a 3 match series as part of Sheikh Mujeeb's anniversary. The original proposal is already put in motion by Bangladesh, BCCI has come to the party now and putting up a third match to make it a series. Quote Share this post Link to post

You can get one unit of alcohol once a week, if u are an NRI tourist or atleast that's what I got when I visited Ahmedabad early this year. Also there are more than 10 hotels selling permit liquors these days, though be ready to pay hefty prices for your favorite brands. Edited 18 hours ago by Bhaiyya Quote Share this post Link to post
