Commenting on the BCCI secretary’s visit, Assam Cricket Association secretary Devajit Saikia said, “ACA is highly grateful to Shah for this visit, and is immensely hopeful that the visit would encourage Assam Cricket Association in its future endeavours.”
The stadium last hosted a three-match women’s T20 International series between India and England in March 2019. The Barsapara Stadium was also slated to host a few matches of the Rajasthan Royals during the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League, before the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
