The Venue
December 27, 2004
Having hosted Pakistan's first ever home Test match, in 1955 when it was called the Dacca Stadium and Bangladesh was still part of Pakistan, the Bangabandhu stadium was also the venue of Bangladesh's inaugural Test match after they became the 10th nation to be awarded Test status.
Named after the father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the stadium in Dhaka has been a regular venue for one-day internationals in the past couple of years and is widely recognised as the home of cricket in Bangladesh.
Located in the north of the main city, the Bangbandhu National Stadium has had floodlights since 1998 and is now capable of holding a capacity of 36,000 spectators.
