Expressing appreciation to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, Tiwari stated, "The Bihar government has fulfilled its duties. Now, it is the responsibility of the Bihar Cricket Association to initiate the project. The BCA is committed to accelerating the construction and delivering a world-class stadium for the people of Bihar within two to three years, where international matches can be enjoyed."
