Maharaja T20 Shifts to Mysuru; Chinnaswamy Stadium Awaits Nod for Women’s World Cup

A judicial safety report spurred police to withhold clearance, prompting the BCCI to impose a Saturday deadline for state approval of World Cup fixtures

Overview

  • The Maharaja T20 tournament will be held behind closed doors at Mysuru’s Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Stadium after Bengaluru police denied clearance
  • Police clearance was withheld because of an ongoing probe into the June 4 stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium that killed 11 people
  • The D’Cunha Commission found the stadium’s design unsuitable for large-scale events, leading authorities to stall permissions for marquee matches
  • The BCCI has given the KSCA until Saturday to secure state government approval for four Women’s World Cup games at Chinnaswamy Stadium or risk relocating them
  • Future IPL 2026 fixtures at Chinnaswamy remain in doubt, with safety and infrastructure reviews ongoing alongside criminal investigations
