Abhishek Tripathi, Jagran Brisbane. The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Brisbane. There is an atmosphere of excitement all around in the city, not just about cricket but also about the Olympics and Paralympics to be held in 2032.
These days, there is a wave of change in Queensland’s capital Brisbane in preparation for the mega sporting event.
The iconic Gaba Stadium is also located in this city and this cricket stadium is also ready for a makeover. 1.6 billion dollars (1375 crores rupees) will be spent on the renovation of Gaba and its spectator capacity will be increased to 50 thousand. Along with this, many modern facilities will be developed in this stadium.
Remains will turn into the last test observer
This stadium will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2032 Olympic Games as well as other sporting events. The Indian team will play for the last time in this current stadium, while next year this stadium will host the last Test match in the Ashes series.
According to experts, the return of Test cricket to this Gaba ground after redevelopment is not possible as the new Victoria Park Stadium is emerging as the preferred venue for Test matches in the future. When cricket fans gather at the Gaba this week, they will not only be watching an exciting match, but also witnessing the beginning of a big change
Gaba will be missed a lot
Yet as Brisbane moves towards a dynamic future, there is a sense of nostalgia surrounding the Gabba’s glorious cricketing heritage. The ground has been the stage for unforgettable moments in Test cricket since 1931. The sound of ball hitting bat, the roar of the crowd and the suspense of a tense match will be greatly missed when the Gabba is transformed into an Olympic venue.
For those who have experienced its magic, this change not only marks the beginning of a new era but also the end of a memorable chapter in world cricket history.
Let us tell you that India and Australia are tied 1-1 in the current series. Both teams will try to retain their lead by winning at Gabba.
