The Mulpani Cricket Stadium, Commonly known as Lower Mulpani Cricket Ground or simply Mulpani Ground (Nepali: मुलपानी अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय क्रिकेट रंगशाला) is a cricket ground in Mulpani, Kathmandu, Nepal.
In a historic moment for Nepali cricket, the Lower Mulpani Cricket Ground hosted its first-ever international match at any level, marking a significant milestone since its foundation stone was laid back in 2008. The long wait finally ended on April 13, 2025, as Nepal U19 faced UAE U19 in the opening game of the ICC U19 World Cup Asia Qualifier.
The ground, which had previously hosted national-level games and local tournaments, witnessed its international debut in a dramatic fashion. In a rain-affected encounter, Nepal edged past UAE by 5 runs via the DLS method, making the occasion even more memorable for local fans.
The tournament is being played across both Upper and Lower Mulpani grounds, but the spotlight firmly rested on Lower Mulpani for its maiden international outing. The venue, which had been primarily used for academy and local matches in recent years, underwent significant improvements under the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) to prepare for the tournament, including the construction of new pitches.
With the successful hosting of this fixture, Lower Mulpani now adds itself to Nepal’s growing list of international-standard venues, and its debut signals an advancement for cricket infrastructure development in the country.
