Gaba Cricket Ground will be demolished: Gaba Cricket Ground is one of the most prestigious stadiums in Australia. The Australian team’s record in this stadium is strong. However, the Indian cricket team trampled the Kangaroos on this ground. Now this stadium will also be demolished. Although its date has been fixed, it will not be demolished at the moment. The Government of Queensland has said that there are plans to demolish the stadium after the 2032 Olympic Games. Brisbane is ready to host the 2032 Olympic Games.
The Gaba Stadium is the stronghold of the Australian team.
Since 1931, 67 men’s tests and 2 female Test matches have been played in Gaba, Brisbane. It is called the fort of the Australian team, as it takes decades for the opposing teams to win here. The shocking figures are that from 1988 to 2021, the Australian team has not lost a single Test match here. The Australian team has often been playing the first match of the season at this ground. The second Test match of the Ashes series will also be played at this historic stadium later this year.
A new stadium will be built.
In fact, there is a plan to build a new stadium with a capacity of 63,000 in Victoria Park in Brisbane behind demolishing the Gaba Cricket Ground. The inauguration and closing ceremonies of the Olympics will be held at this new stadium. After these games, the Gaba Cricket Ground will be demolished and cricket will begin in this new stadium. If Gaba is not demolished before the 2032 Olympic Games, the Olympic cricket gold medal match can be played at this ground.
Gaba is a great place for cricket.
Queensland Cricket CEO Terry Swinson said in a statement, “Gaba has been a great place for cricket for many years and has given countless memories to fans and players.” However, the challenges facing the stadium are well known and we need to look towards the future. Queensland now has the opportunity to host some of the world’s best cricket competitions, such as ICC competitions, men and women Ashes series, Border-Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India, and BBL and WBBL in a new stadium. ‘
