Lucknow, Read: Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA), making a major change in the venue of this year’s UP T-20 League, has handed over the hosting to Ekana Stadium in Lucknow instead of Greenpark Stadium in Kanpur. The proposed league will be held at Ekana Stadium for the third consecutive year from August 14 to September 6.
According to UPCA, the decision has been taken due to outstanding payments, poor condition of floodlights, incomplete drainage system and inadequate seating facilities for spectators at the Greenpark Stadium. In view of these shortcomings, the league was shifted to Lucknow. CMD of Ekana Sports City, Uday Sinha said that it is a matter of pride to host the UP T-20 League for the third consecutive time. He said that all necessary preparations have been completed at the stadium and the official schedule of the tournament will be released soon.
