How much does it cost to book a cricket ground in Islamabad?

Matting or astroturf wickets run Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 for a half-day match of three to four hours. Prepared turf wickets with a curator cost Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000 for a full day. Umpires, scorers and match balls are usually extra, adding Rs 4,000 to Rs 10,000 depending on the standard you want.

What is included when booking a ground?

At the basic rate, the field and the wicket. Sight screens, boundary rope, rollers, umpires, scoring, match balls, changing rooms and drinking water are variable, and some grounds charge for each. Ask for a written list before paying an advance. For tournaments, also confirm seating for reserves and whether spectators are permitted.

Where are the cricket grounds around Islamabad?

Park Road, Kuri Road and Chak Shahzad hold most of the academy grounds, with more in Bahria Town, DHA Phase 2 and around Adiala Road and Chaklala in Rawalpindi. Central sectors have very little full-size space, so almost every hard-ball match involves a twenty to forty minute drive from F and G sectors.

When should we book for the season?

October to March is peak club season and weekend morning slots go three to four weeks ahead. If you are running a league across six or eight weekends, book the whole block in one negotiation before the season starts. Summer matches move to early mornings or floodlit grounds, which are fewer and priced higher.

Cricket Groundsin Islamabad & Rawalpindi

This desk started in Islamabad, so this is where our data runs deepest. Everything below is written for Islamabad and Rawalpindi specifically — other cities are covered, in less detail.

Full-size cricket in the Islamabad area runs on private academy grounds and club fields, mostly along Park Road and Chak Shahzad, in the Bahria Town and DHA belt, and across Rawalpindi around Adiala Road and Chaklala. Matting and astroturf wickets are the common option at Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 for a half-day match; proper turf wickets with a curator run Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000 a day.

What separates grounds is the wicket and what comes with it. Ask whether the price includes rollers and pitch preparation, boundary markers, sight screens, an umpire, a scorer and match balls, because at the lower end you get the field only. Hard-ball cricket also needs a proper outfield; grounds that mainly host tape-ball games often have uneven surfaces that make fielding risky.

Weekend mornings from October to March are the prime slots and go three to four weeks ahead in club season. Summer play shifts to early morning starts before 8am or to floodlit grounds, of which there are a limited number. For a league or a corporate tournament across several weekends, book the full block at once; grounds price a season commitment noticeably below the per-match rate.
