The Bugti Stadium, formerly known as the Racecourse Ground, is a cricket ground in Quetta, Pakistan, owned by the Pakistan Cricket Board.[2] The first recorded match on the ground was on 29 October 1954.[3] Until 1989, the Bugti Stadium was known as the Racecourse Ground. It was used as a venue for a One Day International match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in October 1996.[4] Between 1954 and 2008 the ground hosted twenty-two first-class matches.[5]
In September 2019, the Pakistan Cricket Board named it as one of the venues to host matches in the 2019–20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[6] Balochistan played four games at Bugti Stadium in 2019-20 – the first first-class games played in Balochistan since 2008.[7]
