The WPL Governing Council discussed the venue during its meeting on Wednesday, with Mumbai’s Cricket Club of India (CCI) and Vadodara also identified as potential venues. Before hosting the women’s T20 league, the stadium is expected to stage its first Ranji Trophy matches during October-November.
The stadium is being built at an estimated cost of ₹450 crore across around 31 acres in Ganjari village, Rajatalab tehsil. Once completed, it will have a seating capacity of around 32,000 spectators.
The spectator galleries will also reflect the city’s culture, with their design inspired by the steps of the famous Ganga Ghats. Notably, the facility will have 14 international-standard pitches and two modern electronic scoreboards.
Varanasi Could Become the New WPL Venue
The five-team tournament currently features Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Giants, and UP Warriorz. WPL matches have so far been held in Delhi, Mumbai, Vadodara, Lucknow, and Bengaluru.
Ranji Trophy Matches Could Come Before WPL
The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to use the Ranji Trophy as an early test of the new venue’s readiness. If the stadium is ready, it could host its first domestic red-ball matches during the October-November window.
The Ranji Trophy, WPL and international cricket could help establish Varanasi as a new cricketing centre in the Purvanchal region. The stadium's combination of modern facilities and Kashi-inspired architecture will also give the venue a distinct identity. This is a big development towards the game of cricket.
