The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, one of the three venues in the USA for the ongoing T20 World Cup, is set to be demolished.
In a video shared by ANI on social media, bulldozers are seen parked at the venue, ready to commence the demolition of the temporary stadium, which had a seating capacity of 34,000. The stadium, constructed in just 106 days at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County, New York, hosted eight games, including three Group A matches featuring India and a high-profile match against Pakistan.
The last game at the stadium was India’s match against co-hosts USA on Wednesday, June 12. Following the match, preparations to dismantle the stadium began, with the process expected to take six weeks.
