Home ground
Green Park Stadium in Kanpur is the current home ground for UPCA but it is looking for a land between Kanpur and Lucknow to have their own stadium because the fee to hold a one-day match has been set at a whopping one crore rupees by the state government. But until they get new one, Green Park would continue to hold international matches. [1]
