Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium is a cricket ground in Srinagar's Sonwar area. It is associated with the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association and regional competitive cricket. The ground should not be confused with Bakshi Stadium, whose principal sporting association is football, or with every other venue carrying a similar Sher-i-Kashmir name.[1]

A cricket institution in Srinagar

The cricket association's official information identifies the stadium as its Srinagar home ground and gives the Sonwar address. These records establish its institutional connection and location, while individual match records document what was played there. An address and a fixtures list provide different kinds of information.[2]

The stadium has hosted international cricket in the past as well as domestic activity. Historical matches belong to the venue's record, but their existence is not proof of a current international fixture. Sporting status, maintenance and the calendar need dated sources rather than a permanent label inferred from one celebrated occasion.[1]

Ground, event and spectators

A cricket venue contains a playing surface and facilities for players, officials and spectators. Their functions are related but distinct. A photograph taken at a public meeting may document the venue's use without showing the condition of the cricket pitch or the arrangement for a match.

The accompanying source image records a dated public event at the stadium. It is included as a historical view and should not be read as a live sporting photograph. Tickets, seating and visitor routes for any match require the organiser's current information, including arrangements for people needing accessible facilities.

Read with Bakshi Stadium for a separate venue and Kashmir Willow for a regional material linked with bat making. The University of Kashmir entry offers another institutional subject within Srinagar. These comparisons help keep city facilities identifiable rather than treating similarly prominent names as one destination.

A venue record also benefits from identifying the organiser and purpose of each photographed occasion.
