Cricket matches at the venue had been stopped since June last year after a tragic stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s victory celebrations, which led to the death of 11 people and injuries to several others.
The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has received approval to host Indian Premier League (IPL) and international matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The announcement was made on Saturday (Jan 17).

The permission is subject to compliance with specific terms and conditions prescribed by the government and concerned authorities,” the association said in a statement.
