The Nangarhar National Cricket Stadium is the first international standard cricket stadium in Afghanistan. It is located in the Ghazi Amanullah Khan Town, about 15 kilometres outside the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar Province. Construction on the stadium began in March 2010 when the foundation stone was laid by Minister of Finance and president of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, Omar Zakhilwal. The project was developed on 30 acres of land donated by the developer constructing the Ghazi Amanullah Khan Township,〔(Afghanistan to build international cricket stadium ) October 27, 2010.〕 cost up the first phase of construction $1.8 million. The first phase, which took one year to complete, included the completion of the stadium itself.〔 The remainder of the phases will see the construction of a pavilion, accommodation for players and administrative buildings.〔 The stadium, which has a capacity of 14,000, was completed before the national team and under-19 team left for Canada and the Under-19 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Ireland respectively.
