The Assam Cricket Association Stadium also referred to as the Barsapara Cricket Stadium and the ACA Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Guwahati, Assam. Dr Bhupen Hazarika’s memory inspired the Assam Cricket Association to rename the stadium in his honour in 2010. The approximate total cost of the project was Rs 2,300 billion. Sarbananda Sonowal, the chief minister of Assam, inaugurated it on October 10. The Cricket Stadium hosted its first international cricket match when India played Australia in a 20-over match in October 2018. It is the 49th international cricket venue in India. Both domestic and international games are played in this brand-new stadium.
