he Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS; Bengali: শের-ই-বাংলা জাতীয় ক্রিকেট স্টেডিয়াম), also called Mirpur Stadium, is an International cricket ground at Mirpur, in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Located 10 kilometres from Mirpur city centre, the ground holds approximately 25,000 people and is named after the Bengali statesman A. K. Fazlul Huq, who was accorded the title Sher-e-Bangla ("Tiger of Bengal").
History
The ground was originally constructed for football in the late 1980s and first hosted matches at the 1987 Asian Club Championship and 1988-89 Asian Club Championship. The venue was taken over by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in 2004, replacing the Bangabandhu National Stadium as the home of both the men's and women's national teams. The stadium has field dimensions of 186 m × 136 m.
The first international match at the redeveloped ground was held in December 2006, and the stadium has since hosted matches of the 2011 World Cup, 2012 and 2014 Asia Cup, 2016 Asia Cup along with the majority of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches. The finals of the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 and Women's World Twenty20 were hosted at the stadium. The stadium hosted its first International T20 on 11 October 2011, Bangladesh vs West Indies.[1]
On 17 January 2018, during the 2017-18 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series, it became the sixth and fastest to host 100 ODIs.[2][3][4]
For the 2019-20 Bangabandhu BPL Final, 27,725 people gathered at this venue, the highest crowd attendance for the venue and beyond its official capacity.[citation needed]
On 3 March 2023, during the 2nd ODI between Bangladesh and England, the venue hosted its 200th men's international match which was also the 100th ODI match played by Bangladesh men's cricket team at this venue.[5]
During the one-off test between Bangladesh and Afghanistan from 14-18 June 2023, when Baangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto scored a century in their first innings, it was the 100th century at this venue combining all three international format. [6]
Facilities
Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Panorama
The ground was originally built for football and athletics, and was hence rectangular in shape. To restore it to a shape suitable for cricket, a lot of renovation had to be done, and the athletics tracks had to be dug up. About three feet of soil was excavated to remove the red clay. PVC pipes were fitted before re-filling with rock chips and sand, and then grass. The slope is even, a difference of 29 inches from the wicket to the boundary. The ground was fitted with floodlights in 2009 and is able to host day/night cricket matches.
First Test, ODI and T20I
The ground hosted its first Test match on 25 May 2007, when the home team played India. The first ODI took place on 8 December 2006, when Bangladesh played Zimbabwe. On 11 October 2011, the stadium hosted its first T20I, between Bangladesh and West Indies.
