The Sharjah Cricket Stadium (Arabic: ملعب الشارقة للكريكيت) is in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. It holds the record for being the venue that hosted the highest number of international matches, 294 matches, up to March 17 2024. It was originally constructed in the early 1980s and has been much improved over the years.[2] The stadium hosted its first international matches in April 1984, in the Asia Cup.[3]

It was at this stadium in 1998 that indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar single handedly took the India team with 143 runs, winning an international game against the Australia.

In 2010, at the behest of local cricketing patron Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, the Sharjah Cricket Stadium became the home ground for the Afghanistan cricket team for One Day International and first-class matches.[4] In 2016, Afghanistan changed their home ground to Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Noida, India. The Multan Sultans and the Quetta Gladiators used the Sharjah Cricket Stadium for most of their home games in the most recent PSL season.[when?]

The cricket stadium also hosted the inaugural edition of the T10 cricket league, which is a 90-minute cricket league from 14 to 17 December 2017 featuring several international cricket players.[5]

The stadium also hosted the final of the 2018 Blind Cricket World Cup.[6]

The Sharjah stadium was one of the dedicated venues for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

It has 62 metre boundaries in long on and 58 metre in straight. It has 65 metre boundary in mid wicket.
