Gandhi Stadium is located in the city of Jalandhar, Punjab and is used for cricket matches. The stadium was built in 1955 and serves as the home ground for two Indian domestic cricket teams: Punjab and North Zone. The stadium has hosted a solitary Test Match against Pakistan and 3 ODI matches with the host team - India winning both of these matches.
With the advent of Mohali Cricket Stadium outside Chandigarh, it is unlikely that other stadiums in the state of Punjab will get an opportunity to host International cricket matches.
