Wankhede to have spectators for 2nd India-New Zealand Test; limit set at 25 per cent of capacity

The
Wankhede
stadium
has
a
seating
capacity
of
30,000.
A
Mumbai
Cricket
Association
(MCA)
official
said
they
would
try
to
get
the
limit
increased
to
50
per
cent.

“As
per
the
general
order
of
the
Maharashtra
government
signed
by
the
chief
secretary,
25
per
cent
crowd
is
allowed
for
the
Wankhede
Test
as
of
now.
MCA
is
still
hopeful
that
they
may
give
us
50
per
cent
crowd
permission,”
the
official
said.

The
last
Test
held
at
the
venue
was
against
England
in
December
2016.
The
match
will
mark
the
return
of
international
cricket
at
the
iconic
venue
after
the
COVID-19
pandemic
brought
sporting
action
to
a
halt
last
year.

The
first
Test
of
the
two-match
series
is
being
held
in
Kanpur
right
now.
