The stadium was inaugurated in 2011 by the ACB, with assistance from
USAID and
Care International. The ACB has since been using it for local cricket matches and training purposes. Many domestic cricket events are held in the stadium each year, including national tournaments, school cricket tournaments, disability tournaments, and player training camps. A key development for the stadium over the years was the construction and development of the Afghanistan National Cricket Academy which has recently been funded by the
International Cricket Council. The first match was between
Nangarhar and
AWCC, with Nangarhar winning the tournament. In May 2015, the Alokozay Group of Companies took sponsorship of
Afghanistan national cricket team and the stadium. In April 2023, renovation efforts began in which the grass of the entire stadium was renewed and replanted to create a better
outfield. Along with this, some interior work was done inside the pavilion. This renovation was completed around late 2023.
Terrorist attacks On 13 August 2017, a suicide bombing took place near the stadium's entry in which several people were killed and injured. On 29 July 2022, a grenade explosion occurred within the stadium among a crowd of spectators during a cricket match between the Pamir Zalmi and
Band-e-Amir Dragons, killing at least two people and injuring 13 others. == See also ==
