Gaddafi Stadium
Gaddafi Stadium is a test cricket ground in Lahore, Pakistan. It was designed by Nayyar Ali Dada and completed in 1959. It was originally named Lahore Stadium but was renamed in 1974 in honour of Colonel Gaddafi of Libya.
In 1995/96 it was completely renovated for the 1996 cricket World Cup, and hosted the finals of that event.
Two hat-tricks have been scored here, one by P. Petherick for New Zealand against Pakistan during their 1976–77 tour, and one by Wasim Akram for Pakistan against Sri Lanka during their 1998–99 tour.
Lahore Hockey Stadium and the Al-Hamra theatre complex are adjacent to the cricket grounds.
