The Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground is a cricket ground located in the city of Nagpur.[1]
The ground is known as the VCA Ground and belongs to the Central Zone. The first match was played here in October 1969. As of 19 August 2017, it has hosted nine Tests and 14 ODIs.
It has been replaced by a new stadium called Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium as an international cricket stadium. It continues to be used by the Vidarbha and Uttar Pradesh cricket teams.
Sunil Gavaskar scored his only one day century here against New Zealand in the 1987 Reliance World Cup.
In 1995, during the 5th ODI between India and New Zealand, a wall in the East Stand collapsed, killing 9 people and injuring 70 others.[2]
