A T20 match between India and West Indies would be played at the Barabati Stadium here on February 15, 2022, said Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) secretary Sanjay Behera on Monday.
The stadium was picked as a venue to host the T20 match at an apex council meeting of the BCCI held in Dubai on the day.OCA officials had earlier requested BCCI president Saurav Ganguly to allow matches to be played at Barabati, which has not hosted any international match for a long time.
The BCCI has asked the OCA to make the necessary preparations for the T20 match. OCA officials said that already the process to prepare a new pitch and outfield is underway at the stadium.
