Short History :
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have drawn a massive plan to materialize their dream of setting up the ‘’Home of Cricket’’ at the Mirpur Sher-e Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
With the 2011 ICC cricket World Cup in the focus along with an aspiration of building complete cricket facilities under the same roof. BCB has been working hard to turn the stadium into a world standard.
Having granted the Test status. The cricket board has got the authority of the sher-e Bangla Stadium following a crisis of a permanent international cricket venue in the capital.
Bangladesh weaved its dream of becoming a cricketing nation with the Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) in the centre of their activities but they never owned the stadium. After being awarded the Test status, they had an impression that no other sports will demand the BNS nack but they were wrong. Football federation, who had been allocated with the sher-e Bangla stadium at Mirpur from BNS, demanded back the sytadium with an excuse that they are losing spectators.
The BCB made emergency move to End their own place After a series of talks among BCB, National Sports council (NSC) and football federation. NSC allocated BCB the Sher-e- Bangla Stadium in the year 2003. NSC. Governing authority of sports in the country, handed over papers of allotment of the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium to BCB on 26 June 2003, the third anniversary of Bangladesh's owning of Test status.
The Mirpur Sher-e•Bangla Stadium was made as a modern football stadium. lt made debut with the Asian Club Cup Football Championship match between Dhaka Mohammedan Sporting Club and Sri Lanka Sanders in l987.A sum of Taka 2l0 million was spent to build the stadium with floodlights with the capacity of 50,000 spectators. Later, Taka 40 million more was spent for setting up an international standard athletic track with the SAF Games l993 in the vision. Now the stadium has no evidence of once being a football with athletic tracks. Now it is the Home of cricket
lt was not that the cricket authority of the country, at the time they were allocated with the stadium, dreamt of setting up a one-stop” cricket at one place. Dav Whatmore, national Coach I at that period, provided the idea to the cricket board Authority. A swimming complex, lodging facility and an open ground next to the stadium inspired the authority to take the audacious plan to turn the stadium into the Home of Cricket.
At The beginning, the cricket board had a plan to prepare the ground for internationals with a grant support of .5 million US Dollar from the lCC through ACC. Plan was to go further with the other developments of the stadium accessing fund from other sources. But the development process got a huge boost as the Master Plan of a Cricket Complex free of cost from Australia's lSM. The board considered seeking help from NSC when they found realizing the master plan was difficult for the board with funding. BCB appointed local consultent 'Basat' for Construction & Conversion of the SBNCS into a modern international stadium.
