Kanpur's Green Park Stadium is all set to host the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test 2024 from September 27. However, an obstacle has emerged for the fans ahead of the IND vs BAN 2nd Test 2024. As per a report by The Indian Express, Uttar Pradesh's Public Works Department (PWD) has deemed one of the stands as dangerous for the fans. Government representatives were concerned that the structure may collapse since it couldn't support the whole stand's weight throughout the game. Consequently, during the Test, fewer than half of the Balcony C stand's capacity will be available for purchase. Monkeys Spotted Roaming Around Kanpur's Green Park Stadium During Training Session Ahead of IND vs BAN 2nd Test 2024, Video Goes Viral.

As quoted by Indian Express, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association CEO Ankit Chatterjee said, “The PWD has raised some issues and we have agreed that we will not sell all the tickets of Balcony C. We have been told to sell only 1700 tickets for the stand, which has a capacity of 4,800. The repair work will continue for the next couple of days." PWD authorities state that gathering a large number of people in the area of the stadium poses a serious risk. A team of engineers was at the Balcony C stand for about six hours on Tuesday. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has been forewarned to close the stand during the match beginning on Friday. Will it Rain in Kanpur During IND vs BAN 2nd Test 2024 at Green Park Stadium?
