In the second Test of the current series, visitors Bangladesh will square off against hosts India. Green Park in Kanpur will host the match beginning on Friday, September 27. The Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (UP-PWD) had previously “deemed dangerous” one of the stands at the event, the Balcony ‘C’ stand. In a recent development, nevertheless, the problematic part has been cleared for usage ahead of the second Test after repairs and a good safety report from Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU).
It is important to note that 1,700 people can sit at the top of the area and 1,900 at the bottom. Less than half of the tickets available for the Balcony C Stand were requested to be sold by the UP PWD earlier this year. Sanjay Kapoor, the director of the venue, recently said that 5,000 more seats have been added in advance of the second Test. In addition, he discussed the state of the floodlights surrounding the stadium.
“Everything is set up and ready for the event at Green Park Stadium. News18 cited Kapoor as adding, “This match will be celebrated not just in the Green Park stadium but throughout Kanpur.”
