The Lahore City Cricket Association Ground (formerly known as Punjab Cricket Association Ground) is a cricket ground located opposite the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. This ground is used for domestic first-class cricket, List A cricket, and Twenty20 cricket matches, as well as for women's One Day Internationals. Moreover, around ten cricket clubs also use the ground. [1]
From 1980 to November 2012, 265 first-class cricket matches, 105 List A cricket matches, and 12 Twenty20 cricket matches were played on this ground. The ground has also hosted 7 WODIs so far. [2]
In 2002, the Pakistan Cricket Board spent more than Rs. 3 million on the upgradation of LCCA Ground as part of PCB Vision-2005. The project envisaged the club pavilion renovation, the building of the umpires' room and various other facilities, a total re-laying of the field, the establishment of a tube well, and the construction of an iron fence around the perimeter. [3]
In October 2012, it was announced by the Lahore City Cricket Association that the floodlights would be installed there to develop a new culture of night cricket in the city. [4]
In February 2021, the control of the ground was transferred from the Lahore City Cricket Association to the Pakistan Cricket Board, following the disbandment of all city associations across the country. [5] [6]
In 2012, the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to stage the 2012–13 Faysal Bank T20 Cup in Lahore between December 1 and 9, 2012. The tournament was played on three different grounds of Lahore which included Gaddafi Stadium, Bagh-e-Jinnah, and Lahore City Cricket Association Ground. [7] Lahore City Cricket Association Ground hosted 14 Twenty20 cricket matches.
In 2024, the ground hosted all 21 matches of the National Women's U19 T20 Tournament 2024/25. [8]
In 2025, the ground was one of the two hosts (along with the Gaddafi Stadium) for the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier, with the ground hosting seven of the fifteen matches. [9]
