The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot was renamed as the Niranjan Shah Stadium in an event held at the venue. The stadium is set to host the third Test match between India and England starting from February 15. 

• The stadium has been renamed after former BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, who has been one of the most senior cricket administrators in the country.
• During the 1960s and 1970s, Shah played 12 first-class matches for Saurashtra and he continues to hold a significant influence in the SCA. 
• The stadium has hosted 11 matches across the three International formats since 2013 when it first hosted an ODI game between India and England.
• There have been only two Tests played at this venue before, both being high-scoring ones with one ending in a draw between India and England and the other being a cakewalk win for the Men in Blue against the Windies.
