While the modular components of the stadium will be dismantled, local cricket clubs and fans will continue to have access to the top-tier turf and infrastructure.
The Nassau County International Stadium hosted the blockbuster India vs Pakistan clash with massive spectators turning up for the match.
This will help boost the sport's popularity in the region and provide a platform for developing local talent.
