Smart Choice Moosa Stadium, private cricket stadium in Pearland, Texas, US
Smart Choice Moosa Stadium is a cricket ground in Pearland, Texas, owned by Smart Choice, a former sponsor of the United States national cricket team, and home to American College Cricket. It is named after the father of Smart Choice CEO Sakhi Muhammad. The venue has a main event field and hosted Austin Athletics home matches in Minor League Cricket from July to September 2021.
The ground was built between 2013 and 2015 by Sakhi Muhammad and was the first privately owned cricket facility in the United States. In 2022, the International Cricket Council officially recognised it as a venue for One Day International matches, making it only the second stadium in the country to receive that status.
The ground is named after the father of Smart Choice CEO Sakhi Muhammad, the company that owns the stadium and formerly sponsored the United States national cricket team. It also serves as the home base of American College Cricket, so college-level fixtures share the calendar with international matches.
The ground lies in Pearland, south of Houston, reached by road; the sources give no public transport link, so plan a car journey. The venue has hosted long stretches of daily One Day Internationals, such as the 12 ODIs scheduled across May and June 2022, so check which day your match falls on before setting out.
