The first recorded match on the ground was played on 29 October 1954. Until 1989, Bugti Stadium was known as the Racecourse Ground. It was used as a venue for a One Day International match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in October 1996. Between 1954 and 2008, the ground hosted 22 first-class matches.


In September 2019, the Pakistan Cricket Board named it as one of the venues to host matches in the 2019–20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
