Ekana ready for T20, Team India to arrive today
Buckle up Lucknow, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium is all set to host the first T20 match between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled on Thursday.
However, the match will be played without spectators due to the Covid-19 protocol, which has come as a dampener for all cricket lovers. According to Ekana Stadium authorities, both red soil and black soil pitches will be ready and the BCCI will have a key role in deciding where the match would be played. Team India players have already reached Lucknow where they will be residing in Hyatt Regency while Sri Lankan players will be arriving on Tuesday. New talent Ravi Bishnoi will be the centre of attraction as this will be the first time he can show his worth through his performance on the field. He has been roped in by the Lucknow Super Giants for the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Cricketer Akshdeep Nath said though it was a disappointment for cricket-lovers for not being able to watch the match in the stadium, safety and precaution should be the first priority. “If we want matches to continue, we will have to take precautions,” he said.
