Lack of playing grounds in Chittagong

The Outer Stadium in Chittagong once used to groom prominent cricketers, some of whom ended up playing in the national team. But, currently, the famous stadium is a venue of a fair, meaning that the no one can play there. The construction of a "swimming complex" was underway at the stadium until the High Court ordered to stop it.

The Polo Ground field also hosts month-long fairs few times a year, while a park is replacing the Agrabad Jamboree field. The remaining five major fields across the city are also occupied one way or the other.

Budding players are frustrated as they cannot practice due to the unavailability of playing grounds. We hope the concerned authority will address the problem.
