India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup venue is nothing but a simple ground!

After the ODI World Cup, Team India will be pitted against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the US. While the fans in the States will be able to witness an age-old rivalry in action, concerns may arise over the match's venue, the Nassau County Cricket Stadium. The venue at the Eisenhower Park in Long Island, N.Y., is yet to undergo construction, and it has no stands for the spectators.

Cricket journalist Peter Della Penna took to X (Formerly Twitter) to share an update on the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, saying that management is yet to break the ground to build the venue and that the works will begin in February. He also shared a clip and images of the same, showcasing that the Stadium only has a pitch.
