Multan Cricket Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. The stadium is located off Vehari Road, in the suburbs of Multan. It is primarily used for cricket matches. The stadium holds 40,000, and hosted its first test match in 2001, Pakistan against Bangladesh for the Asian Test Championship.
