The modular components of the stadium will be dismantled and repurposed with the local cricket clubs and fans having access to top-tier turf and infrastructure. As per a report in AFP, it will help to boost the popularity of the sport in the region and provide a platform to develop local talents.
The Nassau International Cricket Stadium most famously played host to the India vs Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup 2024. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, India survived a scare to clinch victory against the US.
