A new-look Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Uppal is all set to host the 2023 World Cup, according to K. Durga Prasad, authorised signatory of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) and representative of the single member committee appointed by the Supreme Court.
“The canopy (roofing) of the eastern stand is complete and works on the southern stand, where a section of the canopy was blown away a couple of years ago due to strong winds, have also been completed,” said Mr. Durga Prasad as the ICC 2023 World Cup was put on display at the stadium on Thursday. HCA CEO Suneel Kante was also present.
“We have deliberately stopped the canopy work on the western stand because of paucity of time, as we thought no work should be pending when the matches start,” he said.
