Guwahati: A new cricket stadium with state-of-the-art amenities is set to rise on the outskirts of Guwahati, with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announcing that the venue at Amingaon will be ready by February 2026.

Once completed, the stadium will be capable of hosting international-level cricket matches.

Speaking to the media after inspecting the construction site on Saturday, Sarma said, “Guwahati already has two big stadiums, at Sarusajai and Barsapara. This one at Amingaon, where 20,000 people will be able to watch cricket together, will be completed by February next year.”

He added that the facility will be outfitted with modern features to support both domestic and international fixtures.

“It is a stadium with all modern facilities. Allied work related to the stadium will also be completed by February… Work is on for adequate parking facilities, etc, so that ODIs, T20s can be hosted here also in the future,” he said.

Currently, Barsapara stadium serves as the only international cricket venue in the Northeast, while Sarusajai is a multi-sport complex that includes football fields and an athletics track.

The addition of the Amingaon stadium is expected to further enhance Assam’s capability to host major sporting events.

In addition to reviewing the stadium project, the chief minister also assessed ongoing construction of a new swimming pool and attended a practice session at the National Centre of Excellence badminton facility, also located in Amingaon.

Reflecting on Assam’s capacity to host national sporting events, Sarma expressed confidence that the state would be well-equipped with adequate infrastructure when it next hosts the National Games.

Assam previously hosted the event in 2007.

The venues being developed are also envisioned for cultural events, with the chief minister suggesting their potential for large-scale concerts similar to those hosted in Shillong by top Indian and international performers.

On the role of young athletes, Sarma reiterated that while the government is building the foundation, the drive to succeed must come from the athletes themselves.

“The players have to come forth themselves. We can give the infrastructure. We have been hosting ‘Khel Maharan’, taking the competition to the grassroots level. Determination to put in the effort has to come from the players,” he said.
