Source-checked 16 October 2026. Recheck the official schedule and access conditions before travelling.
Shillong sporting venues and local context
MCA Cricket Ground is identified by BCCI as MCA Cricket Ground, Polo Ground, Shillong. The Meghalaya Cricket Association’s official website gives its association address as J N Stadium Sports Complex, Polo Ground, Shillong 793001, and describes Shillong as the association’s historic cricket centre. These sources support the Polo Ground/Shillong event context, but do not provide a public-entry policy, parking information, seating map or facilities guide. The venue should therefore be treated as the verified match location only, with operational details to be confirmed through official channels.

Cricket events in Shillong: Meghalaya VS Manipur at Polo Ground
Shillong cricket events currently include Meghalaya VS Manipur in the Ranji Trophy Plate, a single first-class fixture scheduled from Sunday 18 October through Wednesday 21 October 2026. The match is listed at MCA Cricket Ground, Polo Ground, Shillong. The opening start is 4:00 am UTC on 18 October; the discovery listing shows that as 09:30 local time. Those are two time expressions for the first start, not separate matches or separate tickets.
The venue name matters when checking the fixture: BCCI uses MCA Cricket Ground, Polo Ground, Shillong, while the Meghalaya Cricket Association identifies its address as J N Stadium Sports Complex, Polo Ground, Shillong 793001. That supports the Polo Ground locality without adding unverified claims about gates, seating or parking. The official BCCI match details are the best schedule reference. You can also review the Shillong event listing and Shillong sports events page. This is a watch listing; admission and ticket availability have not been established.

Shillong cricket matchday planning: check Polo Ground and fixture timing
For Shillong cricket matchday planning, start with the verified fixture rather than assuming a general event-day timetable. Meghalaya VS Manipur is one four-day Ranji Trophy Plate match at MCA Cricket Ground, Polo Ground, Shillong, running from 18 to 21 October 2026. BCCI records the first start on Sunday 18 October at 4:00 am UTC, while the discovery row gives 09:30 local time. The input does not establish start times for later days or sessions, so treat 18 October as the confirmed opening timing and recheck the official match centre before making plans.
Confirm the locality and venue wording together: Meghalaya Cricket Association lists J N Stadium Sports Complex, Polo Ground, Shillong 793001, while BCCI names the ground MCA Cricket Ground. That check helps prevent confusion with a different Shillong facility. Use the official BCCI match centre, then open the full ListingSports fixture and the Shillong cricket schedule section. No ticket, public-entry, parking or registration arrangement is verified, so do not treat the schedule as an access promise.
