History of Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium

The ground is in Silchar and was formerly known as the District Sports Association Stadium. After an extensive upgrade, it was renamed Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium in honour of Satindra Mohan Dev, the father of former Union minister and MP Santosh Mohan Dev. The venue serves both cricket and football.

CricketArchive records matches at the ground from the 1986–87 season through 2019–20, while the Assam government's venue listing confirms its use for Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy cricket. Its only women's ODI was played on 7 December 2005, when India Women beat England Women by 10 wickets.

Floodlights were installed in 2008, together with a new cricket pavilion funded through the North Eastern Council. A December 2008 report described the stadium as a 30,000-seat venue and said the floodlight inauguration was tied to a Twenty20 exhibition match. The ground is listed as a former international venue because no further internationals are recorded after the 2005 women's ODI.
