The ICC Academy Ground is a cricket ground located in Dubai Sports City, Dubai. ICC Academy provides indoor and outdoor pitches.[1] The ground was used for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. The two cricket grounds are installed with floodlights.[2] The venue hosted warm-up matches ahead of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Trivia

In 2014, a match between Ireland and Scotland in Dubai Triangular Series 2014–15 was called off. This was the first time that an ODI in the UAE had been a no result.[3][4] In September 2019, both grounds were named as two of the venues to host cricket matches for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament.[5][6]
