“We can’t wait to welcome the world to this incredible venue this June,” Jones said in a statement, highlighting the impressive progress made in just a few months. The stadium is expected to be complete by May 21, with a test event scheduled for May 27 and the first match, Sri Lanka vs. South Africa, set to take place on June 3.
