Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, with seating up to 34,000 people, is scheduled to host eight matches of the marquee tournament, including three games of India.
The highly-anticipated India-Pakistan clash, pencilled for June 9, will also be hosted at this venue. The New York ground will host its first international match in the tournament on June 3 when Sri Lanka lock horns with South Africa. But prior to the main event, the venue plays host to two Asian heavyweights — India and Bangladesh putting in some final work ahead of their respective campaigns.
Looking around at the stands and peering towards the centre square, India skipper Rohit saluted those who pieced together the bold project and said he can’t wait to feel the atmosphere in the stadium with a decent capacity. “It looks beautiful. It’s quite an open ground.
When we come here and play our first game, I just can’t wait to feel the atmosphere in the stadium,” the India captai.
