Question

Cricket is a famous sport and every year many international cricket matches are played around the globe, I want to know what was the venue for first international cricket match.

Answer 1

The first officially recognized Test match started on the 15 March 1877, contested by England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Australia won by 45 runs. England won the second ever match (also at the MCG) by four wickets, thus drawing the series 1-1. This was not the first ever international cricket match however, which was played between Canada and the United States, on the 24th and 25th of September 1844.
