With all the talk of cricket and cricket stadiums for the World Bank, can you guess where in Pakistan was this ground. It is, of course, a historic etching. A gymkhana cricket ground from years gone by. Can you guess where?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Yes, it is Rawalpindi.
Looking at the type of trees and supposedly the hills in the background, I would say Abbotabad.
@Saad.
It cannot be KPI because KPI was never a grassy ground.
You are correct that Hanif scored his 499 at KPI ground in 1959. That score card can be seen here:

It is KPI, Karachi, where Hanif scored 499.
