Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed delight that Guwahati made its debut as the newest test center on Saturday (November 22, 2025) as India took on South Africa in the second and final game of the two-match series.
He said this will inspire youngsters and fuel their ambitions.
“This moment will inspire countless young talents and elevate our sporting ambitions even higher. Onward to a new innings for Assam!” he added.
Guwahati, known as the ‘Gateway to the North East’, is the only International Cricket venue in the region and had earned the distinction of hosting ICC World Cup matches for the first time earlier this year.
