What does E stand for in Birmingham cricket stadium?
The Edgbaston stadium is in the history books of cricket. It has hosted many famous cricket matches. It is going to be the first time that the Indian women’s team will play at the historic venue. The venue is known for its pacy wickets and cloudy conditions. Most of the games in Birmingham are played during the daytime.
The historic venue has E written everywhere. From its floodlight to the entry gate of Edgbaston ‘E’ letter is clearly evident and highlighted to everyone. The letter E is basically the logo of the Edgbaston stadium. E stands for the name Edgbaston and so it is written everywhere in the stadium.
