Elaborate security arrangements have been made for the India-Bangladesh second Test match to be played at the International Green Park stadium here scheduled from September 27, a senior official said

The unseasonal rain is likely to play a spoilsport in Kanpur. The UPCA has sought additional ground covers from the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), as there’s a high chance of rain on the first two days of the Test.

The second Test between India and Bangladesh will be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from 27. What happened the last time India played a Test at the venue?

The Stadium will host its first international game since 2021 and the last game saw New Zealand drawing the game against India. Ahead of the second Test starting on September 27, the pitch might offer lower bounce, and a flat rack, with the deck getting slower and slower as the match progresses.

Police said a 'fool-proof' security plan has been chalked out for India and Bangladesh cricket teams which are supposed to arrive in Kanpur on Tuesday.
