Bihar all set to take on Uttar Pradesh in Ranji Trophy

The Moin-ul-Haq Stadium recently witnessed two exciting Ranji Trophy matches in October and November 2025 at the start of the 2024-2025 season. The Bihar cricket team displayed great competitiveness against their opponents in the initial matches, showcasing their skill and determination. Fans can look forward to the upcoming Ranji Trophy match scheduled to take place from January 23 to January 26, promising more thrilling cricket action.

The Uttar Pradesh cricket team, led by Aryan Juyal, arrived in Patna on Monday. Notable players like Shivam Mavi, Saurabh Kumar and Priyam Garg are part of their squad, alongside the coaching staff led by Sunil Joshi, a former Indian cricketer.

Bihar Cricket Association president, Rakesh Tiwari said, "This match is a significant opportunity for the Bihar team to showcase their talent against Uttar Pradesh. With the recent developments and long-term plans, Bihar is on its way to becoming a prominent destination for cricket in India."

Meanwhile, the BCA on Monday also announced the squad which will feature in the Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh. Veera Pratap Singh will captain the squad while Sakibul Gani will be his deputy.

Last month, the Bihar government transferred the registry of the land for Moin-ul-Haq Stadium to the Bihar Cricket Association on a long-term 30-year lease. This is a major step taken by the Bihar Government and the Bihar Cricket Association to host international cricket matches in Patna and to provide state cricketers with a state-of-the-art international cricket stadium.

The Moin-ul-Haq Stadium will now be developed into an international-level stadium and sports complex. The stadium will have a seating capacity of 40,000 spectators, along with 76 corporate boxes and arrangements for 250 VIPs.

Additionally, the sports complex will feature a badminton court, volleyball court, swimming pool, a five-star hotel, a fully-equipped hostel for players, restaurants, a clubhouse, and other modern amenities.
