Light got low for day-night match

According to UPCA director Riyasat Ali, five crore will be spent to improve the lights, five to six lights have been asked to be installed.

Will not be allowed to play the match without depositing fees
The association will have to deposit Rs 10.31 crore in the account of the state fund. The office bearers of the association have demanded the District Magistrate to waive off the fees.

If this is not done, no match of the league can be played at Green Park Stadium.
