Renovation work at the GCA ground in Porvorim is expected to be completed by December, GCA president Mahesh Desai said.

Desai said this year’s Ranji Trophy matches will be played at the Gymkhana Ground as the GCA ground undergoes renovation.

The ground is being upgraded for the first time in two years, with the work focused on improving facilities based on the requirements of players.

The renovation includes upgrades to the lighting, pitch, outfield and spectator seating facilities, Desai said.
