The Tolerance Oval is an international cricket ground in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[1]

History

It was one of the venues used for the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[2] In July 2021, the ground was awaiting accreditation by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to be used as one of the venues for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3][4]

In February 2024, Ireland cricket team was scheduled to play a Test match at the neighbouring Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium against Afghanistan. However, a week before the Test, the match was moved to this venue, making it the 122nd Test cricket venue in the world.[5][6][7] Ireland's Mark Adair claimed the maiden Test five wicket haul to be taken at the ground.
