The Karnataka State Cricket Association has approached authorities for a 50‑acre site in Mangaluru to build upgraded cricket facilities.
The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has formally sought a 50‑acre parcel of land in Mangaluru to develop a modern cricket complex. The proposal, reported by local media, outlines plans for multiple practice pitches, a stadium with seating capacity for regional matches, and ancillary training amenities.
KSCA officials say the project aims to address the growing demand for quality cricket infrastructure in coastal Karnataka, where existing facilities are limited. A dedicated hub would enable local talent to train under international standards and could attract domestic tournaments, boosting the sport’s profile in the region.
The association is now in talks with the Mangaluru municipal authorities and the state government to identify suitable land and secure necessary clearances. While no timeline has been announced, KSCA has indicated that once the site is finalized, construction could commence within the next year, subject to funding and regulatory approvals.
