In 1997, the ground held ten matches in the ICC Trophy.[5] The following year it held its first List A match when Australia played Canada as part of the cricket competition at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.Six further List A matches were played there during the games, the last of which saw the final played between Australia and South Africa.[6] This match also saw the highest recorded attendance for a cricket match in Malaysia, with 7,532 witnessing a South African victory.[7]
As of 2012, the land where the complex is based was planned to be used for commercial development.[3]
