Many fans are curious about what will happen to Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York now that the portion of matches scheduled to be played there for the current T20 World Cup 2024 have concluded. The stadium will be demolished during the next six weeks, having been built in just 106 days.
Work on the project started on Wednesday, June 12, immediately following the conclusion of the USA-India match at the location. Fans could now see their favourite cricket teams play live at Eisenhower Park, the stadium’s original location.
The venue’s dusty, grassy, and muddy surfaces will be restored to their previous condition, and public access will be granted without charge. But as of right now, there is a lot of uncertainty around the pitches. The decision about the future of the “temporary” cricket venue rests with the Nassau County authorities, according to the ICC (International Cricket Council).
According to a Cricbuzz report, an ICC official stated, “If they want to keep them and handle the required maintenance, they can.”
The Mumbai Indians might construct a brand-new stadium in New York.
In a different instance, the ICC will move the drop-in pitches to a location that is in need of them. The current location of the outfield will not be altered. Major League Cricket (MLC) games were also scheduled to be held in the stadium, however the proposal was disliked by the teams and the administration.
In the near future, the owners of the Mumbai Indians (MI NY) of Major League Cricket (MLC) may construct a whole stadium on their home pitch in New York.
The talk of the town since the T20 World Cup 2024 began has been the pitches at Nassau County Stadium. Given their nature, it’s easy to say that both players and fans are confused by the pitches. In the match, South Africa defended a pitiful total against Bangladesh, while the Indian squad held off Pakistan for a total of 119 runs.
On the other hand, as the Men in Blue won their third straight game of the season, India found it difficult to chase down 111 runs before the middle order sealed the deal.
