The Brabourne Stadium is one of the oldest Cricket grounds in India. It is located near Churchgate railway station in South Mumbai. The stadium is part of the Cricket Club of India, an elite club having various sports facilities for its members.Brabourne stadium hosted Test matches from 1948 to the 1972, as well as the Bombay Pentangular matches. Since the early 1970s, Brabourne Stadium ceased to be a major venue for international matches after a dispute between CCI and the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) over the allotment of tickets. The MCA then built a cricket stadium of their own, the Wankhede Stadium, a few hundred metres north of Brabourne. Since then it has lost out on major matches though first class matches and few One-Day Internationals used to be held when visiting teams arrive in the city. However, the disputes were resolved and Test Cricket returned to Brabourne Stadium in 2009. A Test Match was played between India and Sri Lanka.

  • The Brabourne Stadium is a cricket ground in the Indian city of Mumbai. It is located on 90,000 square yards of reclaimed land along Marine Drive near Churchgate railway station in South Mumbai. The ground is owned by the Cricket Club of India (CCI). Brabourne Stadium is India's first permanent sporting venue. The North Stand of the Brabourne housed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters and the 1983 Cricket World Cup trophy until 2006 when both were moved to the newly built Cricket Centre at the nearby Wankhede Stadium.
