“We received a lot of positive feedback about our matches last year, and we're excited to have thousands of fans watch the team play. The Assam Cricket Association (ACA) has been incredibly supportive, making significant upgrades to the stadium infrastructure. They've improved the hospitality area, renovated media facilities, and even launched a special residential project,” he added.
