The Ghazi Amanullah Khan Cricket Stadium (Pashto: غازي امان الله خان کرکټ لوبغالی) is located in the eastern Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan, a short distance to the east of Jalalabad in the new Ghazi Amanullah Town. It became the first international cricket stadium in the country and has been hosting regional cricket matches for over a decade now.

Construction of the stadium began in March 2010 when the foundation stone was laid by Minister of Finance and then-president of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, Omar Zakhilwal. The project was developed on 30 acres of land donated by the developer constructing Ghazi Amanullah Town. The first phase of construction, which took a year to complete, cost $1.8 million, and included the completion of the basic stadium. A pavilion, accommodation for players and administrative buildings were constructed later.

It is hoped that the stadium will be able to attract international teams to play Afghanistan, which is now a Full Member of the International Cricket Council.
