Nepal's Cricketing Field of Dreams - Extratech Oval International Cricket Stadium in Bhairahawa

Join International Cricket Commentator, Andrew Leonard, as he embarks on a journey to witness the remarkable progress at Extratech Oval, the latest addition to Nepal's cricket landscape. From the laying of the foundation stone in June 2023 to its inauguration on February 26, 2024 this state-of-the-art cricket ground in Rupandehi's Bhairahawa has been rapidly taking shape.
Former cricketer and project ambassador, Shakti Gauchan joined me and filled me in on the progress of the construction, emphasizing the various stages it has progressed through to be on the brink of readiness for play today and what the hopes and plans for the international stadium of the future are.
With some similarities to the famous Kevin Costner movie, where the Baseball Field of Dreams gets ploughed through an Iowan cornfield, this time it's the Wheat Fields of Southern Nepal that provide the backdrop for what could be Nepal's next international cricket venue.
Sincere thanks to Mr Binod Kunwar for asking me to come to visit, to all the locals for the utterly incredible reception and welcome and hospitality for my entire visit to the Lumbini Province, and to Chandra KC and Binod Pandey for being my travel guides. An experience I won't forget, loved it. Dhanyavad.

While talking about Nepal we mostly talk about the majestic mountains and don't really mention about how beautiful the Terai region of Nepal really is. Hopefully this ground will promote Terai along with Nepali cricket.

This ground has the potential to be the most important ground in Nepal. Yes, there are TU, Mulpani, and the new Gautam Buddha stadium. However, those are government projects and will suffer from slow, red-taped bureaucracy. Binod Kunwar has been quite vocal that this Extratech will be academy first and ground second. This is the right priority. He is even proposing bringing coaches from Australia. This Lumbini area has always produced some of the most important players in Nepal like Jagat Tamata, Basant Regmi, Shakti Gauchan to current current crops like Rohit, Kushal Malla, Kushal Bhurtel, Dev, Sompal, Arjun Kumal, Durgesh Gupta and more. With this ground, Lumbini is set to become the Mumbai of Nepal in cricket.

Hopefully 10 years down the line Nepal will be able to provide you with a script which you can be really proud of. It is incredible to learn that you have successfully been able to establish yourself as a regular household name in the country. In fact, fans were even keenly waiting for you to commentate Nepal's match against Baroda/ Gujarat.
