NEW DELHI: A towering stadium with 34,000 seats and a precisely trimmed field of soft Kentucky bluegrass is nearing completion in Long Island's Eisenhower Park, set to host one of the world's premier cricket tournaments, the T20 World Cup, next month. This venue is part of a historic event, marking the first major international cricket competition in the US.
On a recent Saturday morning, young cricketers were already active on a makeshift pitch elsewhere in Eisenhower Park, demonstrating the sport's burgeoning popularity in the area.
