Another
cricket stadium in Hyderabad..!?
Till 20 years ago there was only one
international sports ground in Hyderabad. Even though Visakhapatnam also has a stadium, it has not been given much priority. Lal Bahadur Stadium (LB Stadium) in
hyderabad was the only one that was cost-effective and of
international standards. However, it has less allocation of matches. However, after 2009 the
uppal Plain became available with a good drainage system. With this,
hyderabad has got a good
cricket stadium. After the bifurcation of the state, the Visakhapatnam stadium in
ap also became capable of hosting
international matches with good facilities. LB Stadium in
hyderabad served for decades. Being in the
heart of the city, the
government thought that there would be traffic problems during matches in the future.
The LB Stadium, where legends like
sachin tendulkar and
rahul dravid played, has become a venue for other matches and political events. It is noteworthy that recently program like distribution of appointment documents for
government jobs was also taken up here. Recently
telangana CM
revanth reddy announced in the
assembly that another
international cricket stadium will be built in Hyderabad. At the same time, Yusuf Guda, Gachibowli, and Sarur
nagar stadiums mentioned the decline in sports. He reminded that
sports have decreased in LB Stadium and political activities have increased. In this background, it has become interesting to know where the new ground will be built in Hyderabad. A new
cricket stadium may be thought to be constructed towards Shamshabad. Proximity to an
international airport is likely to turn out to be a positive. Moreover, the fourth city proposed by
revanth reddy will also be near it. It is against this backdrop that there is a chance that a new stadium will be constructed in
hyderabad towards Shamshabad.
