Gaddafi Stadium has a special place in the history of Pakistan cricket and it was established in the year 1959. Built by a famous architect, Nasreddin Murat-Khan it was named in the honour of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

In the 1996 World Cup, it was redesigned in Mughal style with hand-laid brickwork and arches. At night it provides an aesthetic view to the audience. It was the first Pakistan ground to get equipped with modern floodlights. In its initial days, it was able to hold 60,000 people but nowadays its capacity has reduced to 27,000.

Hearing the name of this stadium might send chills down the spine of Sri Lankan cricketers but the island nation won the 1996 World Cup on this same venue. Since its inception, it has hosted 40 test matches and 61 ODIs and its beauty is still intact.

These venues have always given the spectators a visual treat and its aura has helped the game in various ways.
