President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday (February 24) will inaugurate the Motera Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad where the third test between India and England will kick-off.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also be present on the occasion.

Spread over 63 acres, the Motera stadium has been billed to be the world’s largest cricket stadium with a seating capacity of a whopping 1,10,000. It houses 76 corporate boxes, an Olympic-level swimming pool, an indoor academy, four dressing rooms for athletes, and food courts.

Due to the COVID-19 guidelines of the government, only 50 per cent of the full capacity of spectators will be allowed in the stadium.

The third match of the four-match Test series will be played in the day-night format with the pink ball. The series is currently leveled at 1-1. England won the first match in Chennai, while the hosts avenged that loss in the following game.
