Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium
The stadium was initially named after Zahur Ahmad Chowdhury on 17 June 2001 by the Bangladesh Awami League government.Situated about half-an-hour's drive outside the city centre, the Chittagong Divisional Stadium was one of the five purpose-built cricket grounds established in the run-up to the 2004 Under-19 World Cup.[6] It was finally granted full international status in January 2006, ahead of Sri Lanka's tour to the country.The stadium itself is a concrete bowl set in acres of prime agricultural land, with a three-tier pavilion providing the focal point.In February 2021, in the first test between Bangladesh and West Indies, West Indies won the match by 3 wickets chasing 395 runs, courtesy of debutant Kyle Mayers's 210*, which was fifth-highest successful run chase in test cricket and highest successful run chase on Asian soil, while Mayers became the first batsman to score a double century in the fourth innings of a test on debut and overall sixth batsman to score a double hundred in the fourth innings.
