Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium

The New Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, also known as Jamtha Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. It is the second largest cricket stadium in India in terms of field area after the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, and the qualities of the stadium have been praised by the International Cricket Council. The stadium is located at Jamtha on the southern outskirts of Nagpur and was inaugurated in 2008, replacing the old Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground as the city's main stadium. The VCA Stadium has a capacity of 45,000 and is the home ground for the Vidarbha and Central Zone cricket teams for the domestic Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy tournaments respectively. As of January 2020 it has hosted more T20I matches (12) than any other stadium in India. As of 10 November 2019 it has hosted 6 Tests, 9 ODIs and 12 T20Is.
