Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Touted as one of the most impressive grounds in the world, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium cost $22 million to construct and was opened in May 2004.

Two grand stands dominate at either end of the ground with grass banks in between. Apart from the stands there is little shade from the fierce temperatures.

Without a recognised pavilion, there are large changing rooms under one of the stands.

England trained there in December 2008 in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks, before returning to India for the Test series.

They face England Lions there in a Twenty20 match on February 17.
