The first recorded match on the ground was played on 29 October 1954.[4][5] Until 1989, Bugti Stadium was known as the Racecourse Ground. It was used as a venue for a One Day International match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in October 1996.[6] Between 1954 and 2008, the ground hosted 22 first-class matches.[7]
