SVSP Cricket Stadium, Greater Noida approved to organise Full Member matches by the ICC, BCCI confirms
ICC had first inspected the venue in December 2015 and it was approved at that time for staging Associate Member matches only.
The venue was upgraded to ensure minimum requirements, enabling Full Member matches to be played.
Last week ICC Inspected the venue and it was confirmed that the minimum requirements for Full Member matches are now in place. Consequently, the SVSP Cricket Stadium, Greater Noida has been approved for staging international cricket matches involving Full Member teams, read the BCCI statement.
BCCI President Anurag Thakur said:

“I’m pleased to announce that the SVSP Cricket Stadium, Greater Noida is now fully compliant to

host international matches with full members. BCCI had organised Paytm Duleep Trophy for the first time in Day/Night format using the ‘Pink’ ball from August 23 to Sept 14, 2016 that tested the venue’s infrastructure and facility. The Afghanistan national team had also used the venue for their home games earlier this year. I am confident that this approval will inspire the authorities to take this stadium to next level.”
Rajeev Tyagi, GM-Projects, Greater Noida Authority, said, "We thank BCCI and the ICC for the accreditation to our venue and would look forward to hosting International matches among the full members of the ICC. This is yet another milestone in making Greater Noida, an International Sports Hub."
