The second test between India and Bangladesh has started at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Team India won the toss and chose to field first. However, before the start of this match, a news came which can break the hearts of the fans of Kanpur. According to reports, now international matches will hardly be held in Kanpur because there are no modern facilities here. BCCI also believes this and if reports are to be believed, even the big players of Team India do not want to play on this ground.

Indian team expressed concern

According to BCCI sources, the Indian team management had expressed concern over the Green Park Stadium. The Indian team wanted to play in Lucknow because the facilities there are much better. According to the rotation, UPCA got the opportunity to organize the test match and since Green Park has got the status of test match centre, hence this match was organized on this ground.

If not Kanpur, where will international matches be held in UP?

It is also difficult to hold international matches in Kanpur because now Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium has also been built in UP which is in Lucknow. Apart from this, a modern stadium is also being built in Varanasi. So in such a situation it is possible that the India-Bangladesh Test may be the last international match in Kanpur.

History of Green Park Stadium of Kanpur

Team India played the first Test in 1952 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Since then a total of 40 international matches have taken place here. India played 24 Test matches at this venue before this match, in which it won 7, lost 3, while 13 matches were drawn. India won 10 out of 14 ODI matches at Green Park and lost 4.
