Right next to China, Pakistan and Bangladesh. If you head West from North Korea, just take a left after Mongolia!

If I remember correctly, cricket fields don't have a fixed size. Also football is popular enough that people will understand what 'x football fields' is. But mostly we use square kilometres, hectares and so on.
