"The stadium will be the first in the region to have floodlights, which will enable it to host both day and night matches. National domestic level matches such as Ranji Trophy can now be hosted in the state and international matches too in the years to come. The stadium will also have four pitches besides other modern technologies and facilities," he said.
Further he announced that the Cricket Academy for Nagaland which will be housed within the cricket stadium will also be inaugurated. The academy will be the first northeastern centre of excellence for cricket.
