In 2017, the Chief Minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar has laid the foundation stone of Narsinghgarh international cricket stadium.[11][12] The stadium will be the second largest stadium in North-East India that could host international matches after Guwahati.[13][14] The stadium will be built on 14.22 acres of land with an estimated cost of ₹200 Crore.[15][16] Fifty percent of the funding for the project would be provided by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), with the remaining costs to be covered by the Tripura Cricket Association (TCA).[17][18][19]
