The Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) has received a major boost for cricket development in the state, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) approving the reconstruction of the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium in Patna.
Moin-ul-Haq Stadium set for modern makeover
The Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, built in 1969, holds a special place in Bihar cricket history. Having hosted nine international matches, including a fixture in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, the stadium is set for a significant upgrade.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed the green light for the project in a letter to the Bihar government’s Department of Sports. He expressed gratitude to the department and assured them that the revamped stadium will be a hub for nurturing cricketing talent in Bihar.

Plans for World-Class facility
This announcement follows a recent meeting in Mumbai, where the BCCI approved proposals submitted by BCA president Rakesh Kumar.
These plans envision a complete transformation of the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, encompassing a world-class cricket ground, a luxurious five-star residential complex, a clubhouse, and additional facilities.
Long-term vision for Bihar Cricket
The BCA secured the stadium on a long-term lease from the Bihar government earlier this year. Currently serving as the home ground for the Bihar Cricket Team, the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium recently hosted Ranji Trophy matches during the 2024 season.
With the BCCI’s backing, the revamped Moin-ul-Haq Stadium promises to be a game-changer for Bihar cricket. This state-of-the-art facility will provide a world-class environment for players, officials, and fans, fostering the growth of the sport in the region.
