Cricket is spreading its wings in a football-dominated Northeast India. And Assam’s Guwahati is leading the way.
The city is home to the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. It is the biggest cricket stadium in the Northeast region, with a seating capacity of 40,000.
The venue, equipped with modern architecture, has hosted a few men’s and women’s white ball international matches. While Guwahati is yet to host a Test match, it has staged Ranji Trophy matches. Interestingly, Guwahati also serves as the second home venue for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
That said, take a look at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium’s women’s ODI, T20I and Test records and stats.

As of now, the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati has not hosted a single men’s Test match. Despite being an active venue for ODIs, T20Is, and major women’s international games, the stadium is yet to feature in the longest format of the sport.
This will finally change in 2025, when Barsapara hosts its first-ever Test match — the 2nd Test between India and South Africa on November 22, 2025, as part of the South Africa tour of India.
The match is expected to be a historic moment for Assam cricket, marking the venue’s arrival as a complete international stadium capable of hosting all three formats of the game.
