The Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, one of India's earliest Test centres, may struggle to find another international fixture in the foreseeable future, TOI has learnt. As it stands, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) is unsure of the hosting capabilities of the venue.According to sources, the board has been made aware of the reluctance of senior India players to play at the venue. With the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow having state-of-the art facilities and a new international stadium expected to come up in Varanasi next year, it will be tough for Green Park to get another international match to host.The stadium wears an old-world look. For this Test between India and Bangladesh, civic authorities have deemed one of the stands unsafe to seat its full capacity. There are structural problems with one of the floodlight tow ers. Hygiene and maintenance of the blocks are also questionable.
