The initial stage had been already completed and will be declared open on Monday (10).

In the second stage, two dressing rooms to accommodate two teams, a cafeteria and four side practice wickets are to be completed.

The third stage will see to the completion of a swimming pool and indoor stadium.

The entire project will take around three years to complete.
