Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium or Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNS) (Bengali: শের-এ-বাংলা জাতীয় ক্রিকেট স্টেডিয়াম), some times called Mirpur Stadium is a cricket ground in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, located in Mirpur, 10 kilometers away from the city center. It holds 26,000 people and was built in 2006. At first, it was named "Mirpur Stadium", but the Bangladeshi government later renamed it as "Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium" in remembrance of Sher-e-Bangla A. K. Fazlul Huq. In 2006 the home-of-cricket of Bangladesh was shifted to SBNS from Bangabandhu National Stadium. It is home to majority of Bangladesh's first class, test, ODI, twenty20 and women's cricket matches.

The ground is a state of the art stadium, equipped with world class facilities. It is considered one of the best grounds in the subcontinent. The most striking feature of the ground is the modern drainage facility. The ground was originally built for football and athletics and was hence rectangular in shape. To bring it back to a shape suited for cricket, a lot of renovation had to be done, and also the athletics tracks had to be dug up. About three feet of soil was excavated to remove all the red clay. PVC pipes were fit in before filling it up with rock chips and sand and then grass. The slope is nice and even, a difference of 29 inches from the wicket to the boundary. The ground was fitted with floodlights on 2009; it is able to host Day/night cricket matches.

Many countries have a national sport stadium, which typically serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams. The term is most often used in reference to an football (soccer) stadium. Usually, a national stadium will be in or very near a country's capital city or largest city. It is generally (but not always) the country's largest and most lavish sports venue with a rich history of hosting a major moment in sports (i.e. FIFA World Cup, Olympics, etc.). In many, but not all cases, it is also used by a local team. Many countries, including Spain and the United States, do not have a National Stadium designated as such, instead matches are rotated throughout the country. The lack of a national stadium can be seen as advantageous as designating a single stadium would limit the fan base capable of realistically attending matches as well as the concern of the cost of transportation.
