Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium

Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, International cricket stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium is a cricket ground in Abu Dhabi built by Concor at a cost of $23 million and opened in May 2004. It holds 20,000 people, with a large stand at either end and grass banks square of the wicket for extra seating. Its complex also contains two smaller grounds, Nursery 1 (Tolerance Oval) and Nursery 2 (Mohan's Oval).

Built by Concor for $23 million, the stadium opened in May 2004; its first first-class fixture was an Intercontinental Cup match between Scotland and Kenya that November. After the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka team, Pakistan could not host at home and played series here against Australia, England, the West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan has used it for home matches since 2010, and it was a venue for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

The ground has served as the Afghanistan national team's home venue since 2010, because security concerns kept international fixtures out of Afghanistan. In April 2006 it staged two charity matches between Pakistan and India for survivors of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, a series expected to raise $10 million.

The ground sits in Abu Dhabi with a large stand at either end and grass banks square of the wicket for extra seating, holding 20,000 people. The complex also has two smaller grounds, Nursery 1 (Tolerance Oval) and Nursery 2 (Mohan's Oval), so check which oval your match is on before travelling.

The stadium's Nursery 2 ground, Mohan's Oval, hosted a Twenty20 International between the UAE and Australia in October 2018, while Nursery 1, called Tolerance Oval, was named a venue for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. The main ground also staged a football friendly between Thailand and Oman in January 2019.
