Fond memories

Ishant Sharma, who impressed in Chittagong by generating pace, bounce and movement to take five wickets in the match, is a certainty and so is senior pacer Zaheer Khan, who took five wickets in the first Test. Zaheer has fond memories of the venue as nearly three years ago he took seven wickets here, including a five-for in the Bangladesh first innings.

Could you please explain to me what "fond memories" means in this context?

I feel it means something like "a memorable movement of the venue".
