DY Patil Stadium’s Track Record As Women’s Sports Venue A Big Reason Behind Getting ODI WC Games
The Greenfield International Stadium: Once it became clear that the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru would not host the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup games due to a lack of timely clearances from the Karnataka government following the June 4 stampede, several alternative venues were under consideration for the eight-team tournament.
The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram initially emerged as the frontrunner to host Bengaluru’s share of ODI World Cup fixtures. Sources had also told IANS on August 12 that the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) assured the BCCI of preparing the venue on time and making all arrangements for the smooth conduct of the games.
However, on Friday, the ICC confirmed DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai as the fifth venue for the ODI World Cup. According to the revised schedule, the DY Patil Stadium, located about 50 km east of Mumbai, will host three league matches from October 20, including India’s games against New Zealand and Mumbai.
