In the Green Park Stadium meeting room on Thursday, Shakib Al Hasan was the center of attention for twenty-six minutes. To finish his Test career, the experienced Bangladesh all-rounder casually revealed details of his chat with the selectors and the board chairman. The most decorated cricketer in the nation wants to host a farewell party in Mirpur, but given the current political climate, it might not go as planned. That means that the Kanpur Test, which begins on Friday, might be his last.
Another left-arm spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, would be waiting to play his first international match at home in his seven-year career. While it is unclear whether Shakib will end his Test career at Green Park.
They would both need to hope that the state association has put in place enough precautions against the forecast rains over the next three days in order to anticipate a spectacular event, whether it be a welcome or farewell, on the anticipated spin-friendly track of Green Park.
Green Park
Green Park, the location of numerous important Indian cricket matches, has the appearance of a typical 1990s Indian stadium without losing any of its attractiveness. There were practice nets that were practically touching the boundary ropes. A stand whose ability to accommodate large crowds was questioned. Floodlights that revealed the date of the last Test match between India and the host nation.
The venue director has responded to the allegations by saying that everything is set up for the ground to host the second Test matchup between Bangladesh and the United States. With record crowds expected and all required clearances in place.
Even the hosts, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association, are aware of the venue’s shortcomings. They have recently chosen to hold the state’s more prestigious matches at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. Which among its many contemporary upgrades also has an excellent drainage system.
Seven years before, in a Duleep Trophy match in Kanpur, an eight-minute drizzle had left the field unplayable all day. The venue director at Green Park, however, is certain that with the nearly full ground covered in tarpaulin sheets. Two super-soppers, and a self-certified statement of the quality of the drainage system. They are ready to face the challenge of the frequent drizzles that are expected over the next four days.
