Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricket ground Indian Cement Company Ground, also known as ICL Sankar Nagar Cricket Ground is a cricket ground located in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, India.[1][2] The ground is in Bala Vidyalaya School run by India Cements.[3] It is adjacent to the NH 44 in the village of Thaliyuthu.[3][4]

From 2016, the ground has been used for hosting Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) matches.[5][6][7] As of 2020, it has hosted eight first-class and two List A cricket matches.[8]

Facilities

The ground has a seating capacity of 4,000.[9] It was increased from the 3,400 after addition of two more stands in July 2017.[10] The ground also has dressing rooms, media and commentary boxes.[9] The ground uses up to 60 per cent recycled water from sewage treatment plants for pitch maintenance due to low rainfall in the region.[10][11]

Safety measures

In 2017, a petition was filed with the High court's Madurai bench against the TNPL matches being held in the ground citing safety hazards.[3][9] The reasons cited were proximity to accident-prone National Highway 44 with only one entrance.[3][10] However, the court refused it while directing officials to ensure adequate infrastructure and safety measures at the ground.[3] By July 2017, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association had erected up to 8 gates to ensure safe entrance and exit of the spectators, increased the height of the walls and set up roofs for the VIP gallery.[10] The public gallery were still unroofed.[3] Matches were held at the ground thereafter without any halt.[3]
