Our story
Zone 36 is an indoor cricket and padel arena in the heart of Islamabad, built for one simple reason: to give the community somewhere to play, connect, and enjoy the sports they love.
The man behind the Zone
A passionate cricketer in Pakistan's deaf cricket community, Syed Muhammad Kumail Kazmi represented Islamabad at domestic level before taking on a responsibility far greater than the game itself.
As General Secretary of the Pakistan Deaf Cricket Association, he worked quietly and consistently to strengthen deaf cricket at both national and international level. During his tenure, in March 2024, Pakistan won the Deaf T20 World Cup in Sharjah.
Once his mission was fulfilled he stepped back, with integrity and without fanfare. Today he continues as an active player in the international squad.
For Kumail, cricket was never about titles. It was always about the love of the game.
A step into something new
After a lifetime in sport, Kumail took a leap of faith. Not to make a statement, but because he believed Islamabad deserved a space where sport could be enjoyed by everyone. Zone 36 is that space.
Why Zone 36
“Sport has the power to bring people together, and everyone deserves a place to play.”
The idea was never complicated. Somewhere safe, welcoming and full of energy, where families can spend time together, friends can compete, and anyone with a love for cricket or padel can simply show up and play.
