 Can you believe that the biggest and the largest full fledged Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka “rose from the marsh”? Yes, unbelievably in just 166 days it in the
space of just 166 days ( yes its one hundred and sixty six days !), and that too without the services of any foreign experts and at no costs to the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (BCCSL), rose unbelievably sphinx - like, quite unobtrusively and unnoticed, the gigantic cricket stadium we see to day, in all its grandeur. It’s the story, incredible and
amazing, of how a marshy land has been transformed in such a short period of time to a 'cricket wonderland' of this magnitude and splendour.

Asgiriya International Cricket Stadium.
(CLICK HERE) .jpg) The Asgiriya International Stadium in Kandy is a miraculous creation (1910 decade) by basically disembowelling a hill in an era when bulldozers and earthmoving machinery were still things to come. Perhaps it is the only School Cricket Ground in the
world which is also a Test Match venue. Standing 500 metres above sea level many have compared this with Newlands in Cape Town and the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad because of it's '150-day' marvel, where in the early 80-decade, chunks were taken out of another hill and then turned to today’s Cricket Stadium of International Standard. Let's go down this long road to the world’s 54th test match venue.
