    Do you think this ground can complete for the upcoming Windies tour, one of my friends visited close to this location. he said it may be too difficult.

    also I’ve heard the roof trusses are still stuck in a port of India coz of the container ship problem recently happened, is that true.

    initial plan there was another two buildings in both sides of the main stand. but now we coudn’t see them why?

    scoreborads of these new venues are 3 fixed digital scoreborads or a single mobile scoreborad?

    • SLC Moderator says:

      Yes. For the 1st stage these areas will have open concrete tiers. Then in the 2nd stage stands will be built according to the original plan. There will be 3 fixed manual scoreboards in all 3 locations and a mobile LED scoreboard for all international matches.
