History
The stadium was originally called Dring Stadium and was named after the second Prime Minister of Bahawalpur, Sir John Dring.[2] Dring was Prime Minister under Nawab Sadiq V and served in this role from 1948 to 1952.[3] Dring Stadium was ahead of its time and was the only complete stadium in Pakistan at the time.[2]
International venue
It was the first cricket ground in West Pakistan to host a Test match, when it hosted the second Test of Indian cricket team in Pakistan in 1954–55, India's inaugural tour of Pakistan. However, this was the only Test match to be held at this ground.[4] As of 2002, 155 first class matches[5] and 23 List A matches have been played at this ground.[6]
Present
As Bahawalpur's cricket team has been without first-class status since 2002–03, there was only one first-class match and one List A match here for the three seasons following that, but the ground still hosts Under-19 matches. Bahawal stadium was a war place before.
This stadium also ranked in Asia's second largest stadium by area.
