A [[cricket]] ground located on the campus of the '''Government Boys' Higher Secondary School''' in [[Karimganj]], [[Assam]], hosted two of the [[Assam cricket team]]'s matches during the 1993–94 Indian domestic season.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/14/1081.html Government High School Ground, Karimganj] – CricketArchive.

Karimganj, lying along the [[Bangladesh–India border]], is the largest town in the [[Karimganj district|district of the same name]], and the ground is the only one in the district to have hosted [[first-class cricket]] matches.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/14/grounds_for_country_14_Assam.html Grounds in Assam in India] – CricketArchive. Retrieved 20 February 2014.</ref> The school was established on 1884. However, it is unclear when exactly the ground was established, although it was presumably used by school teams before hosting Assam. The first first-class match at the ground was a [[first-class cricket|first-class]] encounter between Assam and [[Tripura cricket team|Tripura]] during the 1993–94 [[Ranji Trophy]],<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/14/1081_f.html First-class matches played on Government High School Ground, Karimganj (1)] – CricketArchive.

The association was, at that time, planning to establish a cricket coaching centre based at the school.<ref>Satananda Bhattacharjee (2009).
