'''Jafar Maidan''' is a cricket ground in [[Junagadh]], [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]], [[India]]. The ground hosted its [[Ranji Trophy]] match when the [[Western India cricket team]] played against [[Nawanagar cricket team]] in November 1942.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/14/1071_f.html First-class]</ref> The ground hosted three more [[First-class cricket|first-class matches]] before its disappearance from cricket in 1973. The ground eventually became a grassland. Since then the city does not have a cricket ground. After nearly four decades, now a domestic-level cricket ground is being developed at Vivekanand School Ground.<ref>{{cite web<br />
