== History==
The brighter its future seems the darker was its past. It was part of a forest and was used by the local people as a free space to graze their cattle limiting its identity to a wasted pasture. A few kids would turn up now and then to play football albeit it was no sports venue. But with inception of [[Nepal Premier League]], Fapla has now grabbed a new level of popularity throughout the nation.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
“The condition of this place was miserable then” Shahi remembers the dusty ground in which first edition of DCA was played. “I saw a dream of international matches being played here and invested my personal money in its construction”, he explained. Right now Fapla is not just lusty green turf but also getting concrete parfaits for spectators.
==Description and
The boundaries are mentioned 70 m long in the [[map]] but the ground being constructed for NPL has is around 60-65m boundaries.
Line 82 ⟶ 81:
The cost of construction of Fapla Cricket Ground is estimated at around 1 crore but when it completed will give back a lot more. It will surely give Dhanghadi better chances at National Tournament. Also with better infrastructures [[Nepal]] will rise higher in ICC's Cricket development ranking. Fapla cricket ground will likely be completed in few days. Construction of a ground is a big deal in itself but what important once the construction is completed is its maintenance-if that is ensured Fapla will surely be a faith changer for Nepal cricket.
Organizer of the SPA Cup, President of Dhangadhi Cricket Academy (DCA), vice-president of Dhangadhi Cricket Association, and once opener for Region No.6 Baitadi; Shahi is taken almost as a father figure by budding cricketers here. Shahi has now set an eye on developing Dhangadhi as “Cricket Capital of Nepal” and is currently investing his time on building the Fapla Cricket Ground.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://english.paschimpress.com/posts/275 |title=Phapla Cricket Ground: 4 Years On, Still No DPR in Sight |access-date=5 September 2024}}</ref>
