New cricket stadium to come up in Jaipur

A cricket stadium at par with international standards will come up in Jaipur, the Rajashtan local Self-Government Minister Shanti Dhariwal said on Thursday. The Jaipur Development Authority had agreed in principle to provide land to the Rajasthan Cricket Association for construction of the stadium after the BCCI made a request for this, he told reporters.

The proposed stadium would host only international cricket matches, he said, adding that the RCA would spend Rs six crore for its construction.
