It may be recalled that AP CM YS Jagan mooted a new cricket stadium in Vizag. He suggested the existing Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium be developed into a centre of excellence for aspiring cricketers.

During the interaction, Jay Shah expressed his willingness to visit the beach city. Against the backdrop of Vizag not being allotted any IPL matches this year, these comments by the BCCI Secretary send a wave of respite for the cricket connoisseurs here.
