MA Aziz Stadium, Chittagong

About the ground:
MA Aziz Stadium (also known as Chittagong Stadium) First-class cricket started in MA Aziz Stadium (also known as Chittagong Stadium) way back in December 1954 when touring Indians played against East Pakistan. Two seasons later MCC also played a match there. Thereafter it was only in October 1999 that a cricket match of significance was played on this ground, though football matches have been played regularly here.

In all a total of 6 Tests have been played here and Bangladesh have suffered defeat in all of them. With the exception of the first Test (Bangladesh v Zimbabwe in November 2001) all Tests on this ground have been completed within four days.
