The renowned ground that had hosted high-profile matches is getting a makeover as construction is currently in full gear. While the new outfield is being constructed, the work to lay the main wicket started a few days ago and will be finished in the following 20 days.

We have begun work on the outfield today, according to K Durga Prasad, a former CRPF director general who is aiding Justice L Nageswar Rao's one-man team, which the supreme court ordered to manage hyderabad cricket Association issues. We will have a new ground in two months. Additionally, we soon want to have pop-up sprinklers. Soon, Gymkhana will sport a fresh appearance.

Durga prasad also disclosed that eight newly laid wickets were reserved for female cricket players. "For women's cricketers, eight wickets have lately been set. Additionally, we intend to build seven to eight extra wickets at the entrance that will be reserved for players from sections who are struggling financially. We continue to consider our choices," he continued.

According to HCA's CEO and BCCI-certified curator chandrasekhar, Durga prasad should receive credit for the Gymkhana's renovation. "It gives the cricketers from hyderabad a great boost. The previous attempts to rejuvenate the ground were unsuccessful. It is taking place right now because of Durga Prasad. I'm pleased to be working here once more after 28 years.

"The outfield will eventually be on international levels since we are also putting red dirt to it. When it rains, the water will seep in quickly. It will take another 60 days to complete the job with the current rains, he explained. chandrasekhar has expertise working at many fields around the nation. "Having worked with several grounds, including chepauk in chennai and goa in the country, we took it as a challenge to make it on par with international ground," he said in his conclusion.
