Railways Move Home Matches From Gujarat To CCI
5 Decades At Karnail Singh Stadium, Gujarat Last Season, Now CCI For Railways · timesnownews.com

Railways is a cricket team that used Karnail Singh Stadium for about five decades.

It has not been allowed to use that stadium for the past three or four years.

Last season, the team played home matches in Gujarat.

Those matches were held in Surat and Valsad.

The team had to use different grounds instead of one regular home venue.

Now, Railways wants to play at the Cricket Club of India venue.

Its coach believes one regular ground will give the team more home advantage.

The coach’s comments refer to three matches but list four appearances across Surat and Valsad.
