The status of cricket as the numero-uno sport in India is epitomized by the world-class infrastructure for the sport, spread across the length and breadth of the country. Right from the facilities provided to the players and coach to the exposure to media, the governing body of cricket has played an influential role in promoting the game both at the national and international levels. At the crux of this infrastructure is a bevy of fine cricket stadiums that regularly play host to international games.
