The venue

The ground played host to an ICC Emerging Nations Tournament conducted by the International Cricket Council in 2000 and played host to five matches.[2]

The ground underwent renovation ahead of the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. The revamps were done to make the ground suitable for hosting international matches.[3]

At the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier, during the playoff matches, Nepal gained One Day International (ODI) status following their match at the ground.[4] On 17 March 2018, the ninth place playoff match between Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier became the 4,000th ODI match to be played.[5]

gollark: I think it's that semi-officially now.
gollark: How's that relevant?
gollark: What would be neat is similar choice of *governance*, somehow, so people who liked lots of state intervention could live somewhere with that and people who don't can live elsewhere, but I don't think that would be very practical to implement.
gollark: At least you can complain about corporations, or a decent amount of the time switch to different ones.
gollark: Especially if you can't question it!
