Sheikh Kamal International Stadium (Bengali: শেখ কামাল আন্তর্জাতিক স্টেডিয়াম), also known as Cox's Bazar Cricket Stadium (Bengali: কক্সবাজার ক্রিকেট স্টেডিয়াম), is a newly developed cricket stadium in the tourist town of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
It was built on leased land from Cox's Bazar Golf Course. The stadium was a shortlisted venue for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, however it did not host any matches due the construction of the ground not finishing in time for the tournament.[2]
The first match played at the stadium was a Women's One Day International match between Bangladesh and Pakistan on 5 March 2014. It also hosted 2 matches of Youth's One Day International between Bangladesh and South Africa. Those 2 matches won by one each. [3]
