Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association
The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) is the sports governing body that manages and organizes cricket throughout the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It oversees multiple stadiums, including Green Park in Kanpur and Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, where matches are held regularly at different levels.
The UPCA was founded in 1928 as a registered society and is part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Since then, it has maintained Green Park from its early days and represents Uttar Pradesh in national tournaments like the Ranji Trophy.
Green Park in Kanpur and Ekana Stadium in Lucknow are the main places to watch cricket and learn about local sports culture. Both venues host matches regularly and offer visitors a chance to experience the atmosphere of these popular grounds.
Green Park is known as one of the toughest grounds for batters because the pitch naturally favors spin bowlers. This distinctive playing surface has made the stadium memorable for cricket enthusiasts over the decades.
