The ground's documented milestone is a first-class cricket match played on 21 May 1966 between Dhaka and the Public Works Department.

The ground lies on Dhaka University Road in the Bangladeshi capital. It is a working sports field, so expect cricket and football practice rather than a visitor site. Time a visit around the annual inter-hall and inter-college sports, or around convocation, when the ground is given over to ceremonies.
The ground's only first-class cricket match was played on 21 May 1966, between Dhaka and the Public Works Department. Otherwise it has hosted inter-hall and intra-hall university sports every year, and it is the venue for the university's convocation ceremony.
