In November 2015 the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that it had approved the ground as venue for holding One Day International (ODI) matches,[2] the venue thus becoming the first international cricket venue in East Asia and China.

On 26 January 2016, the ground hosted its first One Day International when the Hong Kong cricket team played against Scotland in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.[3] A second scheduled ODI was washed out.[4] On the two following days, the first two Twenty20 Internationals at the ground were played, between the same teams.[5]

In February 2020, Interport Series was scheduled to be played at this venue but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic in China.[6][7] The series was then moved to Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur.[8]
