Mirpur (Azad Kashmir) added as PCB cricket stadium


Mirpur cricket stadium (Quaid-e-Azam) has been approved as international venue's. It has capacity of 16000 and host many U-19 matches.

A very good news for pakistan and PCB.

This is what cricinfo stated.


The PCB has taken charge of the Quaid-e-Azam stadium in Mirpur and has identified it as a potential venue for international cricket. Mirpur is the largest town in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), a self-governing state under Pakistani control to the north-east of Punjab, and is known as 'Little Britain' because of the large immigrant population in England from this area.
The region's cricket coordinator Fazal-ur-Rehman told ESPNcricinfo that the AJK sports development authority had handed over the stadium's rights to the PCB on Monday. "The stadium has all the basic requirements for cricket but the PCB was keen to develop it and raise it to international standards," Rehman said. "This part of the region is fine from the security point of view."
