ICC ‘satisfied’ with facilities at Eden Gardens ahead of T20 World Cup 2026
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday ‘expressed satisfaction’ with the facilities at the iconic Eden Gardens ahead of the Men’s T20 World Cup, scheduled to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7.
A joint inspection team from the ICC and the BCCI visited the venue to review the stadium infrastructure, including the playing area, corporate boxes and other amenities.
“The ICC team visited the iconic ground, corporate boxes and looked into all the facilities at the stadium and expressed happiness and said the International cricket body is eagerly looking forward to host a successful World Cup,” stated the CAB.
The Eden Gardens is slated to host five group matches, including one of the three fixtures on the opening day. It is also set to host a Super Eight game and a semifinal, if Pakistan does not reach the last-four stage, since its matches have been pre-assigned to Colombo.
Among the group fixtures, the venue is scheduled to host three of Bangladesh’s matches, though its participation remains uncertain.
