The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Monday decided to construct a museum dedicated to batting great Sachin Tendulkar at its showpiece venue here, located at an altitude of 4,000 feet above sea level with the mighty snow-clad Dhauladhars forming the backdrop.
"A world-class museum dedicated to the Indian cricket will be set up. One part of the museum will be dedicated exclusively to Tendulkar," Mohit Sood, HPCA press secretary, told IANS.
He said a decision in this regard was taken at the HPCA's executive committee meeting presided over by its president Anurag Thakur.
"It's a small tribute by the cricket association to the greatest son of Indian cricket who has inspired generations of cricketers across the world," Thakur said in a statement.
The museum, he said, would have details of Indian cricketing history.
The stadium, 250 km from state capital Shimla, has a 21,600-seating capacity, besides a world-class indoor stadium comprising video analysis facilities for both bowlers and players, a club lounge, restaurant, bar and banquet hall.
The popularity of the venue soared after first ODI between India and England in January this year.
