	Cricinfo - Grounds - Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad
		The Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad is situated in the northern province of Punjab and is a modern and well-equipped stadium.
		But the ground is most famous for the confrontation between Mike Gatting and Shakoor Rana during England's 1987-88 tour, which led to a day being lost during the match and some long-lasting bad feeling between the teams.
		The stadium itself is only 2km out of the city centre, which can be reached by a walk through the tree-lined suburbs.

	All eyes on the pitch as India, Pak ready for 2nd duel : Cricket NEWS : CricketZone.Com
		As for the Iqbal Stadium pitch, curator Agha Zahid and his team of grounds-men, have hinted at the possibility of a better, livelier wicket than the one at Lahore.
		Another point to note is that among the Indian batsmen, none except Sachin Tendulkar has played at the Iqbal Stadium, and that too was way back in 1989 during his debut Test series.
		But it is the pitch at Iqbal Stadium that holds the answer to the question whether the second test would end in an exiting result other than a dull draw.

		Pakistan's multi-dimensional attack provided a late but clinical response to another encouraging display by England's batsman to leave the outcome of the second Test in the balance at the Iqbal Stadium.
		For the best part of two months England have been planning for a battle of technique against their opponents' brilliant spin attack on helpful pitches designed to exploit their inexperience in these conditions.
		South Africa were restricted by accurate bowling to 123 for three in 52 overs at the close - to give the Kiwis a fighting chance of levelling the series.

		Because the design of the Lahore stadium is good (fort type thing) but apart from that theres we dont have a well designed modern looking stadium...
		Well the area around the National Stadium hasn't been that developed as seen from this aerial photo; it is old though so maybe something has developed in this area but lets hope nothing has.
		Demolishing the stadium would cost too much; maybe a major renovation would be better with the addition of a second deck to accomadate +80,000 fans.

		Pakistan’s chief curator (groundsman) Agha Zahid, who came under fire for the dead track he provided in Lahore, is hard at work at the Iqbal stadium trying to prepare a result-oriented wicket.
		The Iqbal stadium track in Faisalabad has traditionally favoured batsmen, with 12 of the 23 Tests played here having ended in draws.

		Remember the ruckus that the Pakistan team, masterminded by Javed Maindad, created (on the Chinnaswamy Stadium field) when Sunil was so ruled not out in the latter part of that 96, putting the stamp on him as the technician supreme.
		It was Sunny's private contention later that ''the brute of a ball'' from Iqbal Qasim had grazed his arm-protector on its way to Rizwan as a 'catch'.
		The Chinnaswamy Stadium wicket on which Sunny crafted that 96 against Pakistan aptly came to be identified as a ''minefield''.

		Pakistan 'A', in reply to Sri Lanka 'A's first innings total of 183 all out, were strongly placed at 149 for 2 when rain and bad light stopped play during the post lunch session on the second day of their first unofficial cricket Test continued at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad yesterday.
		But opener Taufeeq Umar (68 n.o off 150 balls with eight boundaries) and one drop bat Faisal Iqbal (54 off 133 balls with one six and four boundaries) added 101 runs for the second wicket before the latter was caught by Marlon Vandort off W.R.J. de Silva.
		The match was called off for the day as rain and wet ground conditions brought a premature end to the second day's play, immediately after the fall of Iqbal's wicket.

		An idea to dry the pitch with high voltage electricity bulbs was floated in Faisalabad before the sun enabled an uninterrupted second India-Pakistan Test at the Iqbal Stadium this week, the chief curator has disclosed.
		Aware of the severe criticism of the Lahore pitch for the dull draw in the first Test, Iqbal Stadium's chief curator Muhammad Shafi had suggested that bulbs be hung over the pitch to "bake" it dry.
		In the first Test, 1,089 runs were scored and only eight wickets fell at the Gaddafi Stadium, where weather also played a major role in the dull draw besides the dead pitch.

		Jan 21: Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal Saturday said cricketing reasons must have prompted India to drop Saurav Ganguly from the second Test but wondered why the former captain had been picked for the tour at all.
		Iqbal also said Ganguly had lost his place in the team not on account of the performance of the squad but due to his own form.
		Iqbal, who started his career as a medium-pacer before earning the reputation of 'Man of Crisis' due to his ability to score runs in crunch situations, said Ganguly was played in the first Test because the captain wanted experience in the team.
