Greater Noida Stadium using practice grass and pitch for outfield repairs is unacceptable. What is going on, BCCI? You must act fast to fix this issue. #BCCI #GreaterNoida #AFGvsNZ #ACB #BLACKCAPS pic.twitter.com/qawsyJ408N

Restrictions Have Been Imposed On The Stadium
The last international match was played in this stadium of Greater Noida in March 2017. Then an ODI cricket series was played between Afghanistan and Ireland. At the end of this year, i.e. in September 2017, cases of match fixing in corporate matches came to light, then BCCI banned this stadium. Currently, this ban has been lifted.
Ok so catering here at Greater Noida stadium is using urinal washroom
