Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has proposed developing a state-of-the-art international cricket stadium near Huyilalu village in Yelwal Hobli, Mysuru district.

The plan was discussed extensively during yesterday’s State Cabinet meeting, though no final decision was reached.

The Association is seeking to utilise 18.19 acres of barren Government land for the project, which aims to enhance sports infrastructure in the region.
