Bali International Oval To Become Indonesia’s Cricket Flagship
Indonesia is building a major cricket facility in North Bali.
It is called the Bali International Oval.
The complex will have two full-sized cricket fields.
It is designed to operate throughout the year, not only during tournaments.
The Garuda National Cricket Academy will train Indonesian players there.
Visiting teams, coaches and cricket experts may also use the centre.
Construction has started, including work on the fields and wickets.
Indonesia hopes the venue will help its players reach the 2028 Olympic Games and bring more international cricket to the country.
Cricket Indonesia is developing the Bali International Oval in North Bali as a two-oval national cricket hub.
The project will include two full-sized turf ovals and operate as a year-round facility.
The Garuda National Cricket Academy will serve as the complex’s high-performance centre.
The venue is intended to host national teams, visiting international teams, academies, coaches and curators.
Cricket Indonesia hopes the facility will support Indonesia’s Olympic pathway and attract international cricket.
