List of Test cricket grounds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One hundred and twenty-three grounds have hosted men's Test cricket[1] since the first officially recognised Test match between Australia and England in Melbourne in March 1877. The grounds are listed in the order in which they were first used as a venue for a men's Test cricket match. The list excludes World Series Cricket venues and women's Test venues.
