The Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex or Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground is a cricket and association football stadium in Greater Noida, in Uttar Pradesh state of India. It has served as a home ground of the Afghanistan national cricket team. In 2017, it lost its status to hold any matches conducted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), after staging a private league which was not permitted by BCCI.[2]
The stadium is named after Vijay Singh Pathik, an Indian revolutionary who fought against British rule. The stadium conforms to the specifications prescribed by International Cricket Council (ICC) with associated amenities like media and corporate boxes, medical facilities, merchandise stores, a food court, an information kiosk and many others. In December 2016, the ICC gave approval for the ground to host international matches between Full Member teams.[3]
