Lucknow: Responding to the increasing demand for high-quality cricket facilities in India, SIS Pitches has announced the completion of eight new hybrid cricket pitches—four each at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Stadium in Amtar, Himachal Pradesh, and the Luhnu Cricket Stadium in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. These follow the successful introduction of hybrid pitches at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala with the new installations providing the two venues with greater capacity to host more games and meet the growing enthusiasm for cricket across the nation. SIS Pitches’ hybrid cricket surfaces, known for their enhanced durability and consistent playability, have garnered significant attention from grounds teams and players across India.
Two pitches at each stadium (in Amtar and Bilaspur) are situated on the main squares for matches, while two additional pitches provide dedicated practice areas. The new pitches will enhance playing conditions and support professional quality training facilities for cricketers at all levels in both Bilaspur and Amtar. SIS Pitches has also incorporated a 30-square-meter extension of specially designed turf in Amtar’s practice area. This addition is intended to meet future training needs, offering flexibility for the region’s cricketing ambitions.
Paul Taylor, International Sales Director of SIS Pitches, commented, “It’s encouraging to see the growing interest in hybrid pitches across India. Working with the teams at Bilaspur and Amtar has been a rewarding experience.
