In 1978, the Railways Sports Promotion Board renamed the stadium as the Karnail Singh Stadium in his honour.[5] Sporting activitiesThe ground was the venue for an Athletics open meet in 1964 where Paan Singh Tomar set a new national steeplechase record.[6][7] Karnail Singh Stadium hosted the National Weightlifting Championship in 2004.[8] In 2008, the 56th National Kabaddi Championship was held at the ground.[9] The ground hosts a boxing hall, which is used for training by boxers such as Akhil Kumar[2] and hosted the National Boxing Championship in 2007.[10] It was also used as a training venue prior to the Commonwealth Boxing Championship in 2010.[11] The ground has been home to the Railways cricket team in the Ranji Trophy for approximately five decades.[12][13] Karnail Singh Stadium was the venue for the Ranji Trophy finals in 2002 when the Railways won the Ranji Trophy for the first time.[14] In 2007, the Railways proposed to build a new dedicated cricket stadium to replace Karnail Singh Stadium as its home ground, citing lack and overuse of facilities.[15] A unique feature of the ground is its old wooden green-board type scoreboard which is updated after each run is scored, unlike other manual ones which are updated in multiples of ten.[2] Though the stadium has not hosted international men's cricket, it was one of the 1997 Women's Cricket World Cup venues, hosting a One Day International played by Sri Lanka and West Indies.[16] In 1999, the ground was the venue for a veterans tournament, World Masters Series.[17] ControversiesKarnail Singh Stadium was banned from hosting Ranji Trophy matches for the 2012-13 season by the BCCI after the pitch for a match between Railways and Saurashtra in the previous season was found to be of "poor condition".[18][13] The Railway Sports Promotion Board was requested to host its matches at another venue in February 2012.[18] RSPB has indicated that it will appeal the ban on Karnail Singh Stadium.[12] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Railways plans ambitious cricket stadium in
