The town of Verwoerdburg was renamed Centurion after the end of apartheid, with the politically neutral new name of the town coming from that of the cricket ground.
This ground was a venue for 2003 Cricket World Cup and Indian Premier League 2009 which took place in South Africa. It was also selected as a venue for ICC Champions Trophy 2009 and hosted the final on 5 October 2009, one of the greatest achievements for this stadium. This was also the ground where Sachin Tendulkar scored his 50th Test Match century. It hosted an Australian rules practice match in 2008 between Carlton and Fremantle.
