The Gymkhana Club in Nairobi is the primary cricket stadium in the country and the only one that could be considered a major ground. The Gymkhana, which is home to one of Kenya’s most seasoned and most impressive clubs, has facilitated frontier and other significant matches since the mid 1900s. Notwithstanding, it truly began to fill during the 1990s when Kenya turned into a serious power in world cricket.
The actual ground is made up of grass banking and wooden stands. On one side is a cutting-edge structure, and on the other side is another media community that was built for the competition in 2000. Like many other clubs of this type in Kenya, the Gymkhana hosts a variety of other sports and provides comfortable lodging. It is nearly 5,500 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest first-class grounds.
Pitch Report
The Gymkhana Club in Nairobi is Kenya’s primary cricket stadium and the only one that could be considered a major ground. Since the beginning of the 1900s, the Gymkhana has played host to important colonial and other matches. However, it really started to grow in the 1990s as Kenya became a serious force in international cricket. Due to internal issues in Kenya, the ground experienced an investment drought after receiving funding from the ICC in 2000 to host the ICC Champions Trophy.
Wooden stands and grass banks make up the Gymkhana Ground. A brand-new media center that was constructed specifically for the tournament in 2000 can be found on the opposite side of the modern pavilion. The Gymkhana, like many other similar clubs in Kenya, provides comfortable lodging and a variety of other activities. One of the highest first-class grounds is nearly 5,500 feet above sea level.
On September 28 of that same year, the first one-day international matches between Kenya and Sri Lanka were played at the National Stadium, which opened in 1995 and has a capacity of 7,000. When Kenya played Bangladesh on September 1, 2007, it made its T20 cricket debut. The Gymkhana is one of Kenya’s oldest and most well-known teams. They play at the National Stadium.
