Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground

The first recorded match held on the ground was Bangladesh versus Singapore in the 1998 ACC Trophy.^[3]

Nepal took part in the inaugural Intercontinental Cup, whose matches had first-class status. The ground held its first first-class match when Nepal hosted Malaysia. Another two first-class matches were held there during the 2005 Intercontinental Cup when Nepal hosted Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates.^[4]

These were the first first-class matches to be held anywhere in Nepal. The ground has since hosted a number of international competitions, including the 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Five and 2015-17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.^[5]

Crowd trouble flared during the competition when many spectators disturbed play out of frustration with the performance of the Nepal team in a match against the United States national cricket team.^[6] The match was later investigated by the International Cricket Council for the crowd trouble and the resulting calculations of the net-run rate that had denied Singapore promotion to 2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Four.^[7]

The ground has also hosted domestic tournaments, including the Everest Premier League^[8] and Prime Minister One Day Cup.^[9] Many went to watch the matches and enjoy domestic cricket.^[10][11][12]

After the devastating April 2015 Nepal earthquake, basic infrastructures of the ground were destroyed. Cricket Association of Nepal rebuilt initial basic infrastructures.

In November 2025, first phase of upgrade was completed, adding seating capacity of 10,000 and six flood lights; construction had begun March 2025. Work was initiated by then Prime minister of Nepal K. P. Sharma Oli, who ordered the work to be completed within three months. Due to unforeseen circumstances—the climate and production delays—the first phase was pushed further and was completed later in the year.^[13][14] Minister Kul Man Ghising officially inaugurated the floodlights and the stadium 16 November 2025.

The construction is scheduled to continue in 2026—with second and third phases for a complete final capacity of 30,000—and expected to be complete by November 2026.^[15][16]
