Mizoram to soon boast MCG-sized stadium

New Delhi: Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla has unveiled plans for a stadium fashioned on Australia’s MCG — one of the world’s largest — as a precursor to producing world-class players.

“Just close to the football ground in Sairang, there is a cricket stadium coming up, which is the size of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) that can host 100,024 visitors,” Lal Thanhawla, a five-time Chief Minister who had represented undivided Assam during his school and college days in both football and hockey, said in an interview here.

Sairang is a 30-40 minute drive from state capital Aizawl. (IANS)
