The venue got its first international exposure when it hosted three group stage matches of 2004 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[2]
It became a test cricket venue on 8 March 2006, when it hosted a Test match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.[3] It has a total capacity of 18,000. The ground has a field dimensions of 175m x 140m. The last international match played here was between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in 2006, since then it has hosted domestic cricket .[4][5]
Till 2006 the venue has hosted
The venue hosted its last international match in 2006. Transportion problems, player's accommodation problems, are a few of problems for which Bangladesh Cricket Board preclude matches being hosted at the venue. Although the city has a domestic airport, it is maintained by the Bangladesh Air Force and needs prior approval for operations[9] which makes it difficult to host international matches. The Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Government of Bangladesh are trying to solve problems related to hosting so that the venue can come back to host international matches as soon as possible.[2]
