Sir Ali Muslim Club Ground is a cricket ground in Nairobi, Kenya. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1994 when Young Kenya played Bangladesh in a warm-up match for the ICC Trophy which Kenya was hosting.[1] In the main event itself, the ground held seven matches involving various national teams.[2] In 2003 the ground held its first List A matches when Kenya played Sri Lanka A in a two match series. The following year a third List A match was held there when Kenya played Pakistan A.[3] As part of the series with Pakistan A, a first-class match was also played between the sides, which resulted in a drawn match.[4] More recently the ground played host to Kenya Women.[1]
The ground is owned by the Sir Ali Muslim Club, a club founded in 1934 by Muslims from the Indian subcontinent. The club is named in honour a wealthy Arab, Sir Ali bin Salim, who helped to fund and provide advice to the club.[5] Besides cricket, the club offers football, field hockey, squash, tennis, volleyball and squash.[6]
