Top-tier domestic cricket is returning to Srinagar after roughly four decades, with the Irani Cup showdown scheduled at Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium. The event is described as the first time Jammu and Kashmir hosts the Irani Trophy.
Multiple outlets report that the stadium has undergone upgrades, including the addition or availability of seating for about 5,000 spectators. Coverage also notes plans to improve the experience for both fans and event officials, alongside arrangements for access to the match.
Both sources say free tickets are expected to be offered to supporters on a first-come, first-served basis. While the reports largely focus on the historic nature of the hosting and the venue improvements, they do not provide differing details on the match itself, such as participating teams, dates, or kickoff times.
