Bugti Stadium

Bugti Stadium, formerly known as the Racecourse Ground, is a cricket ground in Quetta, Pakistan, owned by the Pakistan Cricket Board. It is located next to the Ayub National Stadium.

History


The first recorded match on the ground was played on 29 October 1954. Until 1989, Bugti Stadium was known as the Racecourse Ground. It was used as a venue for a One Day International match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in October 1996. Between 1954 and 2008, the ground hosted 22 first-class matches.

In September 2019, the Pakistan Cricket Board named it as one of the venues to host matches in the 2019–20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Balochistan played four games at Bugti Stadium in 2019-20, which were the first first-class games played in Balochistan since 2008.
