1) Lord’s London

Constructed in 1814 and named after the owner of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), Thomas Lord, Lord’s is home to the England and Wales Cricket Board, the European Cricket Council and the Middlesex County Cricket Club. More than 100 test matches have been played here in its history of 201 years.

2) Headingley, Leeds

This is the epicentre of sports in Leeds. Having a history of 120 years, this cricket ground has observed many remarkable sporting moments including two triple centuries from Sir Donald Bradman and the Botham’s renowned match-saving performance.

3) Ageas Bowl, Southampton

Built in 2001, the Ageas Bowl, formerly known as the Rose Bowl is the home of Hampshire County Cricket Club. The stadium has already commenced creating a reputation as a daily fixture on England’s white-ball schedule.

Edgbaston is the second-largest cricketing destination in the UK after Lord’s and Warwickshire County Club’s turf. It is used for One Day Internationals, Test matches and Twenty20 Internationals on a regular basis.
