Jinnah Stadium, one of the oldest cricket grounds in Pakistan, is located in Sialkot. This stadium was constructed in the 1920s by the British.[1] In the 1950s it was named Jinnah Park.[1] In 1979 it was upgraded and renamed Jinnah Stadium.[1] Before independence, it was called Connelly Park. After independence, it was renamed as Jinnah Park. It is the home ground of Sialkot Stallions. The first Test here was played in 1985 and the last in 1995. Pakistan played its first ever ODI at home on this ground in 1976. It was against New Zealand. It was also New Zealand’s first ODI against Pakistan.

Jinnah Stadium is the only international cricket stadium in Sialkot district. The stadium hosted many International one day and test cricket matches in the past but now very few domestic events are held here. Its been a long time since any international cricket event took place in the stadium. The stadium need serious attention from the authorities. Sachin Tendulkar played his debut match in this stadium.
