2 min read

IPL 2022 Venues: Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium shall be internet hosting 15 matches within the league stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is a cricket stadium located in Gahunje village in Pune of Maharashtra, India. It is the house venue for the Maharashtra cricket workforce and is the headquarters of the Maharashtra Cricket Association.

This area is designed by Michael Hopkins. The groundbreaking ceremony was carried out on the development website on 21 October 2007 by the BCCI president, Sharad Pawar. MCA granted the contract to assemble the primary section of the development to M/S Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd firm in November 2009. The development work began on 14 November 2007. MCA Pune was inaugurated by the then ICC President and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on 1 April 2012.

Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium would be the venue for the remaining 15 video games within the league stage of IPL 2022. The determination to organise the event in a single state was taken throughout BCCI’s IPL governing council digital assembly. The members earlier contemplated organising IPL matches at respective residence venues, however taking a cue from final yr when BCCI felt that touring enabled breach of the safe bio-bubble, the board doesn’t need to take any additional dangers.

“We didn’t want to have a situation like last season where we had to call off IPL mid-way after there was a bubble breach in IPL teams. It’s better to have the tournament being played in one state where teams can travel by bus,” a BCCI official mentioned.
