Housing the Head Offices of the ICC (International Cricket Council), Dubai has emerged as a world-class cricketing destination, and also standing as a truly alternate venue to host many of the recent One-day internationals and T20 matches. Sport and entertainment executives have hailed the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at Dubai Sports City as one of the world's top venues following the success of the recent cricket series between Pakistan and Australia.

The new Dubai International Cricket Stadium is just what is needed to meet the needs of today's fans, VIPs, broadcasters, the corporate community, and the athletes themselves. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is being promoted as a true multi-purpose venue with the capability of hosting a whole variety of sports and entertainment events, including football, rugby, live bands and traditional performances.

The Zayed cricket stadium is another state-of-the-art venue delivering outstanding facilities to international cricket. The 16,000-capacity flood-lit stadium is situated next to Umm Al Nar, adjacent to the airport road in Abu Dhabi. Two outstanding features of the stadium are the quality of the grass and the design of the outfield. The outfield has been made in a way so that it can conserve water. A shape of a cricket cap covers the South Stand of the stadium.
