Identity and cricket role
The BCCI lists the venue under the full name Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The ICC’s venue profile uses the shorter heading BRSABVE Cricket Stadium and says the ground is generally known as Ekana Cricket Stadium, making that the useful short label for directory search rather than an invented alternate name.
The ICC identifies it as an international cricket stadium in Lucknow. Its profile also records the Uttar Pradesh cricket team as a home side and Lucknow Super Giants as an IPL home franchise; those associations describe the venue’s professional cricket relevance without implying a current squad, fixture, or competition schedule.

Location and venue identification
For practical identification, the BCCI venue directory gives the address as Sector 7, Amar Shaheed Path, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226010. The city and state should therefore be stored as Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh, India; the supplied address is preferable to a broad city-only label when matching event records.
BCCI attributes the venue listing to the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association and records North End and South End, with floodlights marked yes. These are stable directory fields useful for distinguishing this ground from other Lucknow sports sites, while no pitch, boundary, weather, or seating assumptions are needed here.

Professional-use context
This profile supports venue discovery for international, domestic, and franchise-cricket information: it establishes the ground’s international status, its Lucknow location, its association listing, and its documented home-ground links. It is intentionally not a match archive. The BCCI match-centre page supplied for 11 October 2026 is an India v West Indies third T20I at Holkar Stadium, Indore—not at Ekana—so it should not be attached to this venue.
The naming record is deliberately conservative: “Ekana Cricket Stadium” is the ICC-supported commonly used form, while the full Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee title is retained as the canonical name. Current event schedules, team selections, competition labels, and venue statistics should be added only from a separately verified organiser or board source.
