The Sharjah Cricket Stadium is in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. It holds the record for the most number of ODIs hosted in a venue with 228 ODIs up to 23 October 2017. It was originally constructed in the early 1980s and has been much improved over the years.[1] In 2010, at the behest of local cricketing patron Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, the Sharjah Cricket Stadium became the home ground for the Afghanistan cricket team for One Day International and First-Class matches.[2] In 2016, Afghanistan changed their home ground to Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Noida, India.
