On Wednesday (September 25), there were no surface protests around the Kanpur Greenpark Stadium. There was a police presence at every gate. To enter the stadium, you have to go through a series of interrogations. After entering, the security net surrounding Shakib Al Hasan's practice can be seen.
The Bangladesh team is practicing in the net next to the dressing room of Greenpark. Practice starts from 9:30 am. Within moments, security personnel were deployed around the entire field. Everyone is staying a few meters apart. No one is allowed to pass around.
Uttar Pradesh Police Additional DCP Rajesh Srivastava was giving various instructions to the security forces. Rajesh told RisingBD after touring the entire field, "Three types of security are being provided here. One is the isolation cordon that provides security to the field, pitch and critical areas. The remaining two types provide security on the road and surrounding areas of the stadium, including the pavilion. Each cordon is divided into three or four parts. There are about 100 police cameras working.
Although there is information about threats, there is no concern, Rajesh said, 'There are many types of information about threats. Nothing can be said about them. Various intelligence agencies are working. Security is being provided as per Uttar Pradesh Police's own standards. It is impossible to evade them. So I can say there is no concern.
Bangladesh team reached Kanpur yesterday. There was still extra security. Nazmul Hossain Shantara started the first practice today. Practice will continue till 12:30. The second and final match of the Test series will begin on September 27. Bangladesh is trailing by 1-0.
Built in 1945, Kanpur Green Park Stadium does not play much. The last test was held in 2021. Four years before that, in 2017, ODIs and T20s took place.
