The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, situated in Eisenhower Park, Long Island, New York, will be dismantled on Friday, June 14, after serving as a key venue for eight matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup.
The stadium, built in just five months, saw its final match with India’s Group A game against co-hosts USA on Wednesday. A widely shared video shows bulldozers positioned outside, ready to take down the temporary structure.
