Bihar's Moin-ul-Haq stadium last hosted an international match in 1996 when Zimbabwe played Kenya in the World Cup. Fifteen years on, the stadium is in a shambles, writes Roshan Kumar in the Telegraph. The pathetic condition of the stadium in a sense reflects the cricket scenario in the state.
The same stadium now greets cricket aficionados with a cracked pitch, untrimmed grass and encroachments. Kadamkuan police station operates from a portion of the stadium. It houses Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) battalion 131 too.
