Chaudhry Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium: The Ranji Trophy quarterfinal match between Jammu and Kashmir and Kerala will be held at the MCA International Stadium in Pune from February 8-12, confirmed the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) on Sunday.
IANS had previously reported sources saying the quarter-final match will be played in Pune instead of Jammu, the home ground of Jammu & Kashmir Ranji team, due to winter weather conditions in the city. Now, the MCA has confirmed that relocation of the quarter-final happened from Jammu to Pune due to potential weather concerns it got in communication from the BCCI officials.
“We have a good infrastructure to host the game of cricket, and I’m sure it will be a great playing experience for both teams under these conditions. We hope to witness a competitive contest and wish both Jammu & Kashmir and Kerala the very best,” said MCA President Rohit Pawar.
