Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, cricket stadium

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is a modern sports venue in Bangladesh primarily used for cricket matches and equipped with expansive seating areas that provide clear views of the field. The facility features modern amenities including floodlights for evening play, a media center, a main pavilion, and recently added stands that accommodate large crowds comfortably.

Built in 2007 as Sylhet Divisional Stadium, it was rebuilt between June and mid-November 2013 for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, adding a main pavilion, media centre, floodlights and Bangladesh's first green gallery. Its first international match was Ireland v Zimbabwe on 17 March 2014. It became Bangladesh's eighth Test venue in November 2018, when Zimbabwe won by 151 runs; in 2023 Bangladesh beat New Zealand there by 150 runs.

The stadium's green gallery, built during the 2013 renovation, is the first of its kind in Bangladesh; the ground is ringed by hills and tea gardens, and the venue sits a short distance from Sylhet International Airport. It hosted the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup, and in March 2020 Liton Das scored 176 off 143 balls here, the highest ODI score by a Bangladeshi batsman.

The ground lies a short distance from Sylhet International Airport, and the pitch measures 615 feet by 485 feet, among the largest in Bangladesh. The east-side gallery gained a second tier in 2017, adding 5,000 seats. The stands are open-air, with a fabric roof canopy over the upper deck, so plan for sun or rain.
