The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS; Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.), also called Mirpur Stadium, is an Internationalcricket ground at Mirpur, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Located 10 kilometres from the city centre, the ground holds approximately 25,000 people and is named after the Bengali statesman A. K.

The ground was originally built for football and athletics, and was hence rectangular in shape. To restore it to a shape suitable for cricket, a lot of renovation had to be done, and the athletics tracks had to be dug up. About three feet of soil was excavated to remove the red clay. PVC pipes were fitted before re-filling with rock chips and sand, and then grass. The slope is even, a difference of 29 inches from the wicket to the boundary. The ground was fitted with floodlights in 2009 and is able to host day/night cricket matches.
The ground hosted its first Test match on 25 May 2007, when the home team played India. The first ODI took place on 8 December 2006, when Bangladesh played Zimbabwe. On 11 October 2011, the stadium hosted its first T20I, between Bangladesh and West Indies.
