Punjab’s cricket history developed across several regional teams before Punjab began competing as a unified side in the 1968–69 domestic season. A major milestone followed in 1992–93, when Punjab won its first and only Ranji Trophy title. These achievements form an important part of the state’s cricket legacy, alongside historic venues such as Gandhi Stadium in Jalandhar.
Punjab’s modern cricket infrastructure also includes Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. It is a separate venue, reflecting the continued development of cricket facilities in the state.
Gandhi Stadium, also known as Burlton Park, hosted a Test match between India and Pakistan during Pakistan’s 1983–84 tour of India. The match ended in a draw, with India scoring 374 runs and Pakistan replying with 337 before reaching 16/0 in their second innings. The fixture remains a notable part of the ground’s international cricket history.
Gandhi Stadium in Jalandhar hosted an ODI between India and Sri Lanka on 20 February 1994. India scored 213/9, while Sri Lanka reached 141/6 in a rain-affected chase. The match is documented in historical scorecards under the venue name Gandhi Stadium, Jalandhar (Jullundur).

In June 2025, the Jalandhar Municipal Corporation announced plans for a sports hub at Burlton Park. The project was intended to expand the area’s sporting infrastructure and provide modern facilities. This redevelopment initiative is separate from the historical international match records of Gandhi Stadium.
Media reports in June 2025 covered the foundation stone ceremony for the ₹78-crore Burlton Park Sports Hub. Subsequent reporting described plans for a new cricket stadium within the wider 60-acre project. The proposed facility should be distinguished from the historic Gandhi Stadium when researching venue capacity, facilities and match records.
The ground’s capacity is reported as 16,000, but the current seating configuration, pitch specifications, boundary dimensions, ticket availability and public access remain to be confirmed. Visitors should check with the relevant sports authority or event organiser before travelling, particularly while redevelopment plans are being implemented.
